You are going to get raped ordering that **** from the dealership. The brake shoes will be $100 when NAPA has them for $50. And there is a good chance the dealership is going to have to order that **** anyway. ....and if you don't have a good rim to run......

Re: Semi work safe
The problem here is that if the holes are ovaled, the rim can rotate around the hub and bang against the studs. This will put way more stress on the new studs. I replaced a rim that this happened to. I let someone borrow the rims/tires for inspection purposes and his studs were smaller so he used his lug-centric nuts and ovaled the holes.

Re: Semi work safe
bull ****. on a modern sportbike, there isnt anything that cant be replaced in an hour. everything is thought out and engineered, and only 2 special tools are needed. When I work on a truck and look at some of the horrible places they put sensors and other **** I want to smack the **** out of whoever threw that design together. You cant even see the sparkplugs in most cars anymore.
