oki i busted two of the wheel studs and i tried replacing them by taking off the brake rotor and and removed the wheel nut but still couldnt get to the stud to remove and replace it. does anybody know how to change these??
From watching a muffler shop do mine. They took the whole hub assembly off and sumhow banged the stud out. And then unsrewed.
It was pretty fast of them so i didn’t catch everythign they did.
I’d suggest taking it to a shop to do it for like 20 bux for both. It’ll be alot easier than doing it yourself. And its not too expensive.
Holy ****. I took it to a muffler shop here in Hawaii and they charged me 115 bucks for labor and another 20 for 4 studs and 4 lug nuts. I’m always getting ripped just like my $150 fender which I could of gotten for 80. Anyways 2simplex. they use a presser which is just a rod coming down at a great psi rate to push the studs out.
just did this
Your in luck. I just finished dealing with this myself. While I was taking my rotors of to have them turned, my dad noticed that one of the lug bolts was half stripped, three were shaved from over torquing, and the last one had seen better days. Here’s what you’ll have to do. You’ll need a few hours, a puller, and an assortment of tools. Go to your local auto store and buy the new “wheel hub bolts”. My 93 LS was 12mm x 1.5. They were a dollar each. I went ahead and bought new lugs which were a set of four for $5. Now hold the wheel hub while unscrewing the big socket in the middle with a socket and breaker bar. With a soft mallet tap the halfshaft out of the hub towards the car. Next you going to remove the spindle( this is the whole hub and long skinny vertical arm that rotates when you turn the steering wheel). There are three nuts all have coter pins, one under a small round cover at the top of the spindle, one at the very bottom behind the dust shield, and one on the side towards the back of the car which connect to the arm that actually turns the wheel. Now use the puller to push the bolts out from the fittings in the spindle. From the backside of the spindle knock out the hub, then from the front side knock out the bolts you’re replacing. Just hammer back in the new bolts and reassemble. Reassembly is opposite of removal, check your torque specs. Its quite involved for a novice do-it-yourselfer, but at least now you know what’s involved. email me at pedro_armstrong@hotmail.com if you don’t understand anything of need pictures. good luck.
