justinwebb Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Looking to get a wheel stud replaced as its stripped slightly and rather just replace it, anyone know someone that can do it this weekend? I could take it to the random tire shop and have someone fix it but seeing if anyone on here wanted some cash to do it or know of a good shop. Its the front wheel stud on the drivers side if that matters lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You literally just have to pound the old one out the back with a hammer and pound the new one in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You literally just have to pound the old one out the back with a hammer and pound the new one in. This. I replaced all 5 on one of the wheels on the camaro when 3 decided to break, took less than an hour for all 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 What car is it? Some are not as simple pounding the old one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Not all cars have enough room between the hub and the knuckle to let the old stud out / new stud in.. I may be wrong, but I think a certain year civic you have to notch the new stud to get it back in / play with the old one to get it out..

Not Brian Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You're right I do remember shaving off a bit of the new head with a dremel when I had to replace one on my civic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 it is for the civic and I think you either have to notch it or remove the hub, neither of which I can do as my garage at my complex doesnt have electricity and I dont want to do it by hand lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Justin I have a bigass 32mm hub socket if you want it. I bought it for my civic when I replaced a half shaft and haven't needed it since. They're like $35 at the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 buy some wheel bearings. I am getting ready to put extended studs in my Integra and every shop I have went to asking a price has told me they will destroy the current bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Why does he need new wheel bearings for a lug nut replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You have to press the hub assembly apart on these things. There isn't enough room to get the old one out and new one in. I had to replace a broken stud last year on same Integra and luckily I was able to press it apart without destroying the bearing. However I have 200k miles on OEM bearings, might as well replace them now instead of chancing getting them out safely again. The Ek's could be different and have a spae where you can get the stud out without removing it, but usually if 1 Honda has to be done a certain way, they all do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You have to press the hub assembly apart on these things.. that could be an issue and you might have to have a shop do it. I would do the good old forum research and go from there to see if you could do this in your garage or if you need a press etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 To put extended studs in, yes you need to seperate them and press them back together. Putting a stock length back in, just notch the backside of it and it'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I know on the front of the newer Accords you have to take press the bearing appart to get the new stud in. PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah even stock studs, I put a stock stud in last year so I could go race as a lugnut was over torqued and broke one off a couple days before event. If Rocky can get them out without needing to press the hubs apart do it!!! The damn bearings are like $40 a piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinwebb Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 hmmm so I need to grind down the hub, would a dremel be able to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 You don't need to grind the hub.. just the head of the stud. I used a dremel to cut off a piece because I didn't have a grinder handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
