Fitting Extended Wheel Bolts

[bildo]

I have recently purchased some hubcentric spacers and extended wheel bolts. Can anyone tell me how I go about removing the old bolts and replacing them with the new ones please? I can't see any way that the old ones can come out.

Thanks!

easiest thing to do is take the hub off and tap them out with a hammer but put the wheel nuts on so you dont damage them incase you need to re-use them

What spacers & bolts did you buy? I need to do the same to mine

you can do it on the car

turn the hub until a gap appears at the back, toyota designed it for the very purpose
a quick sharp blow from a lump hammer should loosen them

Have you managed to do that before? Just had a feel around the mud shield thingy behind the discs and I couldn't feel a suitable sized gap? Would be very handy if it was this simple though, can you show me (pics/drawing) where the hole is located mate?

Just had a quick feel and couldn't find the hole

I'll take a better look tomorrow and take the wheel off etc.

Hoping it'll be that simple, will make life a lot easier!
