GAWD - go on vacation for a week and the board gets heated up.

For the majority of the pudknockers out there, you can copy this:

equipment needed:

Bridgeport (or equal) Vertical mill
Appropriate size drill bit for interference fit of the stud.
Appropriate size countersink tool.
Hydraulic press or wheel with lug nuts (or use washers of appropriate size)
Wheel studs (don't care if they are metric or not - just have matching lug nuts with appropriate bevel or have a lathe available to machine bevel and make sure they fit holes in wheel)

procedure:

mount hub in degreed mill vise. locate center of hub. Move to one existing drilled hole center (your gonna register off this). Center of hub to center of hole should be 65 mm. Secret information is Porsche uses a 130 mm bolt circle.

Each additional hole to be drilled will be 72 degrees from the other on the circumference(sp?). Secret information is there are 360 degrees in a circle and you want 5 holes equally spaced - how's your math? 360/5=72 Countersink holes drilled if stud has bevel.

remove hub, press studs from back side or pull from front side.

In lieu of the above, buy a kit!!!!

Yippie - got my ya-yas out. What a wretched existence I live
