Wheel bearings are hard

I think I have to remove one of tge wheel studs to finish the extraction, I need to anyway to adjust the parking brake when I put it all back together.

I'm stopping for now because we are going to church now, for my cousin's granddaughter baby dedication.

Question :

What year did the boxster come out with lug studs? My 01s uses bolts I think....

None I added these studs, I used these:

M14x1.5 ACS Race Series Studs — Track-Studs.com

I used the 65 MM ones. I may get the 80s - the 65mm is perfect for the Boxster S twist wheels, but on the Carrera twist wheels for Boxster, the lugs are more deeply recessed and it is a little more finicky to get the lug nut started... Once I get it started, using the socket by hand, then I zip them the rest of the way on using my battery powered impact gun. There are plenty of threads left over, it is just getting the nut started is a little finicky. But not to the point of shelling out extra money to get 10 new studs for the backs...

It does make it a little more convenient when I am taking wheels on and off all the time.

That vendor runs free shipping specials from time to time on rennlist, if you search for his threads and look at the recent ones you will find it, user name ApexComp. Unsure if there is one going on now.
