My tale of woe for tomorrow was I had my Rotary RX-8 valve stem caps stolen - not that it was totally unexpected.

I told my son this morning and asked "Who looks at valve stems?" His answer "The guy that stole them"

Speedrx8er, i will definately do that. same to you too...i won't be too hard to find. winning blue with gold wheels

pat...i will probably head out of my house around 9:30 and end up around your place between 10:30/11. i'll give you a call when i'm close.

mothergoose, good luck with that lug nut. worst case scenario, you still come down to the meet with 4 lugnuts holding your wheel...it should be ok

i'm gonna spend my entire evening cleaning the car...after i eat some good ol maryland crabs!! yum!!

a few people - I think there is at least one that comes on here. I sure it wasn't anyone with an 8.

you know I kept the stock valve stem caps because I knew they would get stolen.

Okay guys I'm stuck. I have absolutely new clue how to remove the wheel studs from the rear hub without disconnecting from the drive shaft. There just isn't enough clearance to remove the old studs. I've searched the forums and only the front hub replacement is listed, which has enough clearance.

Any ideas?
