i started to cross thread the one of my lug nuts onto the stud. Now it is messed up because i was not paying attention. Can I order a new stud and put it on?

 

You can buy individual studs from AutoZone. Just take your old one in there and match it up. I had to do this when I broke one of mine before.

Any auto parts store should carry them.

Just hammer your old one out, then thread the new one on with an open ended lug nut.

 

yep. the lug studs press in from behind the hub, so smack the jacked one out and slide the new one in and suck it in with a spare lug nut

 

what exactly is the name of the stub? is it a hub stud?

 

wheel stud
autozone part number:
front- 610-266.1
rear- 610-312.1

 

Yea, just hammer the old one out!

If your there i would consider doing all the lugs on at least that hub!

Is it the front or rear wheel stud?

If its the front you need to pull apart the whole front hub assembly and take the rotor off to get to the studs. Now would also be a good time to replace or turn the rotors if needed.

There is a great writeup on 4x4wire i think. Search around for it. If you give me a few minutes i could probably post some pics when i had to do it.

 

how did you do it? did you use an impact?

 

heres a long story short! Well now its just a long story of pictures, for those who can't read, but can still use pictures to verify!



okay after taking the hub off, you need a 54mm socket to take the hub assembly off (not sure if thats the real name, but thats what im calling it for now! )



Yum, nasty grease!



These bolts you see are what hold the rotor to the hub assembly



Take all those bolts out



There is the rotor off the hub assembly



Hub assembly with broken studs ^



Pound out the broken studs(i even included a picture of the hammer for those who can't read!



put new studs in and hammer those suckers in!



This is how i used the wheel to tighten those bolts! ^^ (btw, like the weights? )

Do as i say not as i do! if it is your time to turn or replace the rotors, then by all means, do it now. (i for one didn't have money, but those will do for a while longer).

I also re greased the front wheel bearing.

I also only replaced 4 of 6 wheel studs, all of them didn't need it imo, but while your there, if you do all of the above, then it should be hassle free for a while!











GOOD LUCK!

 

u can put a little anitisieze on the new stud while using a lugnut to pull it through, i use it on really tight fitting studs to prevent galling.

 

wow... can anyone say BAD FACTORY BALANCE on that tire...

 

Just in case FYI, the Stud is 12mm with a 1.5 thread pitch. The bolts that hold the hub to the rotor are 14mm heads. Best way to get to bolts out is to wedg a very large pry bar in between the remaining studs to hold it in place. and at the same time use a 1/2in drive breaker bar (with 14mm socket) to remove the bolts on the back of the hub. When removed, use your 14mm 1/2in drive socket and a new wheel nut in order to pull the new stud flush into the hub. Also you should replace the grease seals on the hub. Most auto stores will have what you need, inluding the grease seals.

-Good luck
