replacing wheel studs.
Hey, I got a little problem here. Well it finds out that my right front tire under all the stress and everything broke some studs. I got three studs out of four. The rest are split in two.
I belive I need to take the brake caliper and rotor off to replace them.
my first question is how to take the brake caliper? I think I have flexable lines. I was feeling behind all the grease for one bolt I think. not really sure.
then the rotor. Then after that how do I take the studs out?
Please help
oh yea it's an old chrylser turismo 86'

Most cars you remove the caliper itself, then the caliper bracket, then rotor slides off but.....
If the rotor has the bearing hub built into it, you have to remove the grease cap, remove the cotter pin, the cage, and the nut and pull the rotor off
You can simple beat the stud out and remove it, then insert the old stuff, take some washers that are coated with a lot of grease and stick over the stud, take a lug nut and install on stud till its tight. Then take an air gun and tighten down on the nut till pulls thru and bottoms out

a 10-ton shop press is real nice to put wheel studs in with.
if it is a sealed hub design it might take a lot of force to remove it, on a Ford the hubs are on with something like 250ft/lbs
