Caboobaroo Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 you can do it with a small flathead screwdriver. It'll take you awhile to do it but it can be done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkiller Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 hmm, not a set of needle-nosed pliers then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 you can use either. since they are brand new they should come out a lil easier. You do have to pry from the underside lip to get them out. I use a screwdriver to pry the lip up and then grab it with the pliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedBalls Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Vice grips! maybe a little WD40 will make then come right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I'm with Roobaflu....large side cutters, and a screw-driver to use as a fulcrum. Pops those puppies right out. I was wondering who beat me to the free tires. I was looking for a set of free wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaflu Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 and if you ever change your mind I've got some thread in ice racing studs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 put some bleach in a spray bottle and mist the treads that have studs in em. the bleach softens the rubber. Its also a cheap way for good burnouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 speaking of burnouts... just light em up on the road, and shoot sparks for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I'm with archemitis... I'm thinking "FULL WHEEL SPEED" Those babies should be good off-road!

starkiller Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 off road maybe but we get a fair amount of rain here(well, we use to anyway ), and studs suck in the rain..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Alan, Ya I know, I was just messin with ya... Sounds to me like you need to spend some quality time with a pair of pliers. Free is a good thing Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
