i'm tryin to replace the lug stems on a 2002 honda civic ex i have the wheel, the caliper, the rotor, the axle nut all off. but can not remove the lug stems i could not find a notch or any way to get them out. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PLEASE HELP

it doesn't have clearence to just get hit out. the big metal thing that holds the strut is right be hind it there is no way out. i have to find a way to either get that knuckle off any ideas or maybe ways to get the lug stem out.?????

 

they are pressed in.
pressed in like you have to remove the whole fucking contraption, take it to someone with a press, press em out, and have the new ones pressed in.

maybe someone can, but i sure couldnt have dont it- especially not on the car.

 

you might be able to cut the stud to take it out, and grind part of the new one on the back to slip it in.

 

lug stem????
