Porsche Crest 21mm Rear Spacers Install???

Okay twice I have set off to swap the stock rear lug studs for longer studs so I can use the 21mm spacer on the rears. Both times I started too late in the day to finish. So here's the question, how in the heck to you get the longer lug studs into the hub? I can squeeze out the factory lugs one at a time through the emergency break cable hole. the longer lugs wont fit at all. So how does the rear hub come apart? Has anyone does this before?

Also does anyone know if the new Carrera S4 (new being 2006) 18" wheels will fit a 928? There is a set for sale here locally with tires and they are practically giving them away. I'd be more interested if I knew they would fit.

Replaced the front bearings today (yes!) and it feels tighter. Left front had a little play......no more.

Thanks,
Robert

the later style 18 in wheels will bolt on. without spacers
You have a choice you can either install the studs you have removed or replace the rear wheel bearings as thats what is involved to replace the studs ( the hub flange is removed and this destroys the rear wheel bearing.)
New bearings are about 80.00 a piece

Bought the '06 Careera wheels and tires (they have about 600 miles on them) for $800 total. They fit but rubbed the outer finder. I raised the rear ride height about 1/2 inch and now they clear. They're 295/35/18 in the rear and 235/40/18 up front. I don't see how you can put 315's on them These tires are rediculuously wide. I'm now looking to buy the GTS flares (in the Spring with new shocks) so I can bring the ride height back down.
