SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Taking off the tires on the rear ('07 Toyota Yaris) I broke off TWO studs so far, and stopped. So, when loosening the nuts the studs broke... Are the studs threaded or can you just tap them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneToEnvy Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 they might be lefty threads on the nuts, and you probably will have to press the new ones in. I recomend you get some dry ice to shrink them it will make it a hell of alot easier. I just did 2 on my subi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I am limited with my tools - what did you use to press them on? And I might as well try to take the other two off, as they are going to need to come off at some point. Probably going to break those too!! Were yours threaded? And where do they have dry ice, I have never bought the stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 are you doing it with an impact gun or by hand? Maybe you're not on it straight if you're doing it by hand? try a gun on it, usually the shock will loosen anything. And on the cars I've had to replace studs on you can usually push the in from behind, then get an opened ended lugnut and blast that thing on there to seat the stud in there. Or...take it to your nearest ntb/firestone whatever and tell them to rotate the wheels forlike $10 or $20, if they break the rest it'll be worth it since they will have to pay/replace the broken ones, if not then at least you knw they are all loose now, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have an impact wrench. Thing is I am risking driving it, now, with only two nuts holding the rear tire. Good idea... taking it to get the tires rotated. I might do that once I fix this side.

iwashmycar Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Those cars are like paper plates. Probably have to replace the whole car if it needs tires lol if the shops close, you should be alright. I dont think you can play dumb like you didnt know though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Adam, I am kind of "lit" right now. Sorry, but I need more answers than just "replace the car." Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 i have a stud tool here that pulls the studs into the hubs. like a big lug nut with a bearing on it, so that way you dont destory the stud or lugnut... normally they press into the hub from the back side. and yes, some hubs on some cars have to be removed to get the stud in. make sure they are not reverse threaded....most newer cars are not, older stuff some are...maybe they was crossed up the last time they was put on? if i can help you in anyway, lmk.

SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 It is hard to tell right now with the tire still on there. But yes, Discount did my tires last and they got those things tight!! The rear are drum brakes - what is your take on this? Think they are threaded or pressed, and think it is going to mean taking the axle out to get them on, or just hammer out and press in?

Guest Removed Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 i have only seen aftermarket studs screw in..that and Vw's having inverted lug bolts.. to be honest, without having a new stud, and it apart, i couldnt tell you man...

SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Alright broke the other two off. Now the drum... there should be nothing left holding the drum to the rest, right?? Because I cannot get the mofo off for the life of me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Adam, I am kind of "lit" right now. Sorry, but I need more answers than just "replace the car." Thank you. i apologize. my input was you could probably get it to a ntb closeby with the remaining 2 (though i wasnt sure if there were 4 or 5) good deadblow or rubber mallet should break the drum free.

SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Okay - not a problem. Unfortunately, it only has four, and the broken ones are on the same side. I would rather break into it more where it is, then risk have the tire fall off in transit to a shop, because then... THEN I am in a whole different world of hurt! That whole thing is glued together. I had to kick the tire off, and that drum... that drum is ON THERE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I cannot get the mofo off for the life of me! de'adjust them if it seems the shoes are holding the drum up..that what i was saying in the other thread about cleaning the lip off to slide the drum on and off easyer to adjust. BFH..and smack it a few times...they like to rust up to the hub's, and center hub ring. make sure you clean the drum face and hub face so when it goes back together, it doesn't wobble or not seat correctly.

SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 You can spin the drum, so it is not locked up. I will definitely clean it when I get it off. I sprayed some penetrating oil on it a few hours ago, and I am ready to go try to bust it off. Seriously, I was WAILING on that thing with a hammer. Hopefully it loosened up some... I also noticed that Discount did not center the drum with the bolts - you know how the lug nuts are tapered, and align everything to the hub assembly? The drum is pushed clockwise and is hitting the threads (they should be centered). I noticed this on the left front when I was changing the pads last weekend - the rotor was off center, and it ate the inside of the rotor all to hell. I am starting to dislike Discount a little... I am going to head out and try and bust off the drum and then get a look and see if they are pressed on or threaded. From the manual, they look to be pressed.

SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Okay got the drum off. The studs were pressed in, and I knocked them out with a hammer. Is there anything special that presses them back in? I *think* I have enough room to get the bolts fed through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Never mind. I can just seat them and tighten them up with the new lug nuts, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJINOHIO03 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Where are you doing this at? Your new place? I didnt see you at your garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Never mind. I can just seat them and tighten them up with the new lug nuts, right? put some washers under the lugs, and lots of grease on them if you are doing it like that.

SicShelby Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Where are you doing this at? Your new place? I didnt see you at your garage No, at the Cove. You have to get off your couch to see the garages, CJ, ha-ha. I probably went to Autozone. put some washers under the lugs, and lots of grease on them if you are doing it like that. Roger... well, all good. I was able to rotate the hub assembly and squeeze the new studs in, and then press them on with the lug nuts... That was a bunch of BS, but at least I did not have to take the hub assembly off. Honestly the whole point of this was to see how bad the rear pads were worn. Now that I know, the actual brake job will happen probably tomorrow or this weekend. The pads have to be ordered. I will have four new studs and lug nuts standing by for when I break the left ones off. Thanks for all the help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
