Spacers have arrived! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I made a collossal screw up. After removing the drum to replaced the studs, I forgot to replace the drum and attempted to install the spacers directly to the wheel hub. Anyway, I had to machine lathe out a bit of the lip inside the spacer bore to make it fit I wasn't thinking. Bolted it all back together and went for a drive. It drove fine, but had an almost imperceptible bit of wheel wobble when looking at it in the mirror. Back to shop, realizing what I'd done and put the spacer outside this time. I hadn't removed enough material to make the hub bore loose. The other side, I did properly.

The studs went in easily with a bit of fiddling.

On to the pics. Although they don't show the difference really well, in person it does look much better and more obvious.

3 new long studs installed. Rear brake job tomorrow. :)

Top, before spacers, bottom after...
