Thanks to everyone for your help. The ole NC is back in action. Got the new studs they went in fine with a bit of thread sealant and torque to 60 ft lbs.. increased incrementally from 40.

That is good advice, thanks. I will do that.

Agreed. Thumbs Up to the Mods.. Lets keep this a positive place .

I stand corrected, they are ferrous, so not aluminum.. I guess just not strong enough for 80 lb ft, regardless of what the service manual says.

Update# 2 I just checked my two torque wrenches against one another. I set 600 inch lbs on my small breaker bar and 50 ft lbs on my large (on my car's lug nuts) the larger bar did not move the lug nut at all. So I can assume that they are both set the same, and I assume they are set correctly...

Update: The studs are easily removed from the hub with a pair of locking pliers and a little bit of elbow grease. Will order 5 new studs and locking nuts from Honda Parts Warehouse tonight. The threads on the studs are shot.. they were before the locking pliers but they really are now...

Agreed on both posts.. and hey I could have handled it better too, today was just not my day I guess. Again apologies for sounding like a jerk. But on the upside, the tail end of this thread has been awesome, just like the good ole days from everyone I knew I could count one ! Thanks 670CC...

Thanks Dave ! Maybe Ill put together some pics or a short video in the days to come

Hey you guys rock, I will take a look ! I will also take some pictures of the backside of this hub for interest sake.. same if I try to get the studs out.

I may have been able to phrase it better, but I guess I thought the request for solution was implied. Anyway, the issue will get resolved. I appreciate all the helpful responses I did recieve though.

Thanks asure, I will give it a shot, I guess what is the worst that could happen right ??

By the way.. Instead of calling me out for seeking out official advice, For the first one who can show me any official service manual for the NC700 that says anything other than 80 ft. lbs for those nuts, I will gladly shut up about this and send you $10 on Paypal for proving me wrong. I'm...

Reasonable idea, thank you for the suggestion, may be better than mine.

Like this ? Part in question is 15 and current question is if I can turn them out without a real a** pain or if I am better off biting the bullet and replacing the hub.

How did you go about loosening the studs from the hub? Just put a locking wrench on there and turn it out ?
