If you watched the front wheel stud replacement video, here’s the follow-up.
The rear wheel stud on a Subaru BRZ is tighter, more cramped, and requires a slightly different process.
I filmed the entire repair so you know exactly what to expect if this happens during a brake or hub job.

One frozen lug nut later, I ended up replacing a wheel stud 😅

Been spending a lot of time wrenching on the Subaru BRZ lately.

Paint correction sounds intimidating, but it’s really just a process — and once you understand it, it’s very doable at home.
I just posted a new video walking through a full paint correction step by step to remove swirl marks, light scratches, and restore gloss.
I’m using my Mazda6, but this same method applies to virtually any vehicle.
If your paint looks dull or scratched, this is a great place to start.
