Sooo. I the studs in.
Buuut i made 5he mistake without thinking(clearly) and hit the ebrake to try and get the studs in some.

How tf do i get it to turn off now. The pads are together.
I dont care about the pads or rotors. The rears need replaced anyway.

3 studs is the final count.
And yes i actually do know why this happened.
Well it was the whole fiasco with the spacers and having to cut one off.
Yeah they were putting weight in rhw wheel with it all sorta of really off angles. I should of replaced all 5 studs before i put my wheels on.
So yeah i used an impact with soacers and shredded the spacer itself. The stud had its threads.

Ya, I would steer clear of using wheel spacers. Some ppl swear by them, but I'm personally against them.
If i use them again. They wont be near 20mm.
But imma pass on em. Otherwise id of gotten some for my aftermarket wheels

that can be done, yes. but ffs be careful with it and find a video or instructions on how to do it. it’s a delicate piece and easy to break of done incorrectlyz

Get a 12v power tool battery like from a Milwaukee drill run a wire off the + and - of the battery and put them to the terminals on the electronic caliper, you just gotta touch it quick to make sure they go in not out and that will retract the piston. But if your not good with that kind of stuff find someone who is to help you out. It's super simple but if not done right could lead to damage.
