May 4, 200619 yr Hey there i have to change out a stud for my lugs. Can the stud be changed on car or do i need to take the spindle off...(im having the local tire shop do it, but i need to have it ready to go Thanks Cory
May 4, 200619 yr yeah, being that this is in the New Gen forum i can assume you have a newer car. all that needs to be done is the caliper and disk need to come off.. if you're taking it to a garage, why do YOU need to have it ready? studs are SOP
May 4, 200619 yr When replacing a stud on the front wheel of my 95 Legacy I had to grind a small flat on the new stud to get just enough clearance to snake it in. That was a 3 minute task, the rest of the job being 15 minutes if you count removing/replacing the tire.
May 4, 200619 yr Author sweet, thanks guys, I wanted to know if i can just drive the car in, or if i had to take the whole shebang out. Is it hard to do yourself?? how is the stud secured? Pressure? Threads?? Cory

Threads?? Cory it's pulled through with the threads that the lugnut uses, and then there's a ribbed part that a little bigger than it's mounting hole so it squeezes in and fits tightly. so, pressure.
May 4, 200619 yr it's pulled through with the threads that the lugnut uses, and then there's a ribbed part that a little bigger than it's mounting hole so it squeezes in and fits tightly. so, pressure. Does it just squeeze in when you torque the wheel lugs or do you press it in or bang it in from the inside?
May 4, 200619 yr Does it just squeeze in when you torque the wheel lugs or do you press it in or bang it in from the inside? torque. no banging.
May 4, 200619 yr what about getting it out?? a big hammer? i suppose. well, big hammer and a pick or chisel so you dont hit something you dont want to
