huh interesting i never had that kind of problem before. the way you described seems like when you are trying to take out the lug nut but the knurl on the back of the stud striped right and the whole thing is turning. well my advice is that you can try drilling it out or find a way to break it off since its autozone stuff it should be easy but good luck let us know if you find a way.

Remove entire assembly (upright or knuckle), strut, control arm.

Then you can more easily get to the backside of the wheel (lay the assembly with the wheel face down) and drill out the back side of the stud.

When you're done, come back and I'll tell you how to make sure it never happens again.

BTW, you're gonna need a new hub, so hit the classifieds.

why would i need a new hub? because of the worn teeth in the hub holes for the studs?

I would go with the 300zx rear hubs. I was going to run them on my car but I got ichiba's instead. But I trust the studs on the 300zx alot more than the nice looking new hub. If I did happen to buy the new hub, I'd replace the studs with either oem or some other aftermarkets (ichiba, H&G) just so you know that won't break. And lastly either one you buy, I would definately replace the hub bearing with an oem nissan one (they are cheap and will take like 100k to blow out on you). I'd do all of those things because a pulling the hub of the rear is annoying and this way you'll know for a fact it won't fail on you again anywhere in the near future. But that's just imho.

well they look kinda effy so should i jsut go for it?

Mine looked like that too but they were in good condition - you can just sand them down and paint. Those other hubs will look the same in a couple of months anyway lol.

Tell how us how you made out - sometimes I get really lucky and the stuff i get from the junkyard works perfectly. Other times it screws me later on like my gas tank that is leaking from an odd spot lol.

yeah got the fuel injector but no luck on hubs. Im going to just put in some autozone studs, tighten them into the hub carefully, then take my hub out again and get my friends dad to put a wheel bearing in and get him to weld the back of the studs onto the hub.

How did your hub problem workout?

i went the cheap way and just welded some of the back of the stud in the hub and got a better wheel bearing pressed in. and all of the cost of $20. gotta love the friends dads mechanic as second job/hobby.
