Can anyone guide me in the right direction on how to put in a new wheel stud, i pounded the old one out as it broke in half. how do i put the new one in place? thanks

take off the caliper
take off the caliper bracket
take off the rotor
take a hammer and beat the wheel stud out
put new wheel stud in
with the one of the wheel nuts tighten the wheel stud in place
install rotor
install caliper bracket
install caliper

Simplified: Hammer the new stud in the same way you hammered the old one out.

how the hell am i soposed to do that, theres the wheel hub blocking it.

when you say tighten the wheel nut on it, i should place the wheel on it first or what
because i dont think it will tighten all the way, i tried..

koolaidman

dont listen to him. u need to take off the rotor to take off the lug
do it with the wheel on

technol

still no luck, when you try to thread it, it tightens till it turns itself... it looks like it needs to be pounded in somehow..

Lexologist

try turning your wheels all the way in one direction.

This should give you some clearance to hammer the stud in... try using a 3/8th extension to connect bewteen the stud and your hammer blows.

Afterwards, use a wheel lug to tighten up the tud before reinstalling the rotor.

good luck.

I should have mentioned that this is a rear stud...

use about 5 or 6 washers on top of the stud as spacers, place the lugnut over it to tighten it that way... should provide enough leverage

whats happening is your lugnut is bottoming out on the stud and its then turning the stud

yes that how i did it .


also helps if you have air tools makes puttin the new stud in ALOT easier.
