Replacing rear wheel stud on Calais V8

[Felix_Calais]

HE

i had a bit of luck and snapped all 5 wheel studs on the rear while i was going pretty quick, anyway i got all old ones out cause they were short enough but to get the new ones in there isnt enough space behind it. Whats the go there, do i have to open the big nut in the hubcenter to get more room behind it or is there som kind of trick with turning and so ... couldnt see an other option atm

Cheers

I replaced the one on my vs acclaim a few weeks ago, raise the back end, chock the front wheels and in neutral release the handbrake. Place the tip of the new stud in the back of the assembly and slowly spin the wheel, you should find a notch where it will slide in, mine was towards the bottom.
