Just bought this drill guide off ebay. Have everything to do the front hub swap but short on funds to swap the rears. Hoping this thing makes it a lot easier. Have a new set of stock rotors that I am going to drill through along with the hub to not have to deal with relocating the rear calipers at this time.

Let me know how it works..I may be interested in renting it from you in the future when I get some time to plan out a hub swap.
 
Yes... I was surprised to see this thread. I clicked on the link and saw the jig, thought it looked nice. Then I saw the seller and realized it is the exact same guy that I bought mine from... But I was completely unaware he sold on eBay.

It's a pretty good piece. You are going to need to have a means to resharpen the bits, because even as diligent and slow as I was, I still dulled the 39/64" drill bit a few times.

I wouldn't charge you to use it keVIIIn. After I redrill my rear hubs it's going to do nothing but collect dust anyways. I'll probably hit my brother up at the hardware store to buy some carbide drill bits to use in place of the ones with the kit. I figured they were probably low grade drill bits to begin with.
 
Temptation is so big for me but what happens when I want to sell the car & want to swap back to OEM wheels? I'd have to reverse everything. SUPER great tool though! I may order it for future use. Doesn't hurt to have that in the shed no matter what!

What's the big deal. Switch back rear hub studs and swap front hubs back on. All the hard work was already done.
