hub stud question

[Nismochick240]

okay so i fugged up lol... i hit a small ditch on my donut last week and i bent 2 of the lug studs. then my boyfriend stripped two of my lug nuts trying to get them off... AHH! so i bought 2 lug studs, all new lugs, and new tires while i was at it lol... anyways my question is how do i replace these? what tools? time frame its gonna take me? possible to do it tonight?? thanks guys i appreciate it!

I snapped three on the highway one time. luckily the one held keeping the wheel from comming off. anyway take the rotor and caliper off and then get a nice hammer and whack the **** out off them. They should come right out if you hit them dead on hard enough. Then put the new ones in and stack a few washers on them. tighten a lug nut to pull them through and to get them nice and tight. Thats what i did for the rear, not sure if its the same for the front. Took me about one hour.

^^^ That's how to do it...pound 'em out, then pull them back in using the lug nut and washers.

eh, he drives a Supra.. what can you expect from a guy that drives a Toy

eh.. just like the two guys said above me, its basically just some pounding and tightening. it gets tiring if you dont have enough strength.. or a surface to do it on. buckets tend not to work

yup, this is how its done. be sure to check the back before and after you tighten to make sure the splines on the end of the stud (near the head) are lined up or already in.
