    Trying to figure out how to replace the studs in the rear on my tacoma. I did the front already but cant figure out how to do the back because the studs i bought are longer than the orginal ones.

    You'll need to remove your brake drums, I was able to swap my studs for longer ones without any further dis assembly of my rear brakes.

    I can't remember for sure, was a couple years ago, about 1/2"-3/4" longer I believe.

    Remove the drum.
    Knock them out.
    Insert the replacement studs.
    Put washers on the studs and use the nuts to pull them up snug.
