Hi, my missus has just bought some alloys for her little KA, only problem is, spacers are needed.
So went out and got spacers and longer wheel bolts to put em on, but the bolt goes through the hub, and you just screw the nut on to secure the wheels.
So, my question is- how do I get this bolt out? Just smack it with a trusty big hammer? or is there a nack to doing it?
Cheers for any help

edit - wizzard is a nob.
Whats the point in slating someone asking for help?
Do peoples mechanical knowledge only apply to one specific car?

I dont think it will, aren't the studs pressed in from the back of the drum? never worked on a f*rd before so might be wrong, just dont go swinging on the 2 nut method and snapping one off.
not sure how you could go about fitting the spacers really

yeah, thats right luke, looks like its all been put on backwards. lol.
I will try the 2 nut method, but if that doesnt do much straight away, will end up taking it to a garage or tyre place or summin..........not my money. lol
Thanks for the help though
