wirelessenabled Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Just to add to the institutional knowledge. My son had a broken stud on the drivers side front wheel. It was an easy job to remove the wheel, remove the caliper and disc brake bracket, and rotate the hub to the correct location that allowed room to pound out the stud with a 2# hammer. This car has a 6MT transmission so I only needed to lift the one wheel, put the transmission in neutral, and with some effort spin the hub. You will not be able to spin the hub by hand, you need to put a wrench on it. Automatic transmission cars may be different. Only bit of a problem was the sheet metal shield on the back (inner) side did not allow room to slide the new stud in. That was easily fixed by slightly bending that shield in the correct area. I then slid the new stud in place, sprayed it with some PB Blaster and pulled it in to the hub using a stack of washers and a lug nut. It was easy to get the head of the stud flush with the back of the hub. All said it was an easy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
