Bah...wheel stud replacement?

Impreza Rider · 09-19-2002, 05:01 PM

So I managed to strip a wheel stud when I was rotatiing my tires. Anyone know how hard it is to replace? I know the parts are pretty cheap (<$3 for a new stud)..

I suppose I'll need a new lugnut too...so I might as well replace them all. Who carries Kyukogen (sp?) lugnuts for our cars?

Thanks

They have to be pressed in. I know my old Toyota had 2 of them snapped off (due to the idiots at the Toyota dealer) and they wanted $125 for the front rotors to have a stud drilled out and press a new one in. And $109 for the drum. I paid for neither. But it's not a cheap process from what I understand.

I'd say to ask the Mid-A mechanical guru... aka Scott as he had to do that in order to get his foot wide super swampers to fit on the Brat. I'll let him notice this though.

I have done this 24 times in the last 2 weeks. Bang out the dead one with a BFH. Tap a new one into place just enough to hold it. Slip on your spare and put a lugnut on the new stud and start tightening. It will seat the stud.

Scott-

Do I need to take off the brake rotor? It's on the rear if it makes a difference.

I would think so, It is pretty easy.
