NEED HELP BROKE A FRONT WHEEL STUD PROCESS TO REPLACE IT? 95 sol SI I had a loose wheel it wobled and fouled the thread on a stud. I dont have cash to get the manual today. I have been told it is hard to do. Please advise.

 

tt is this imposible to do myself or not anything i should know?

 

you have to press out the hub, hammer the stud out, put the new stud in and press the hub back in

 

so am i gonna end up payng a shop to do this?

 

yes, unless you have access to a press

 

I had a broke stud and didn't want to go through the process of doing it and didn't want to goto a shop cuz it's kinda expensive, I ended up buy the knuckle for the side I needed, used of course with the hub for like $30, swapped out the knuckle and I am good to go now. Just an option.

 

IMO You don't need a press, I have done it without one many times.

 

when i did mine i just a stell dril bit and made a grove so i could slid the new lugs in easier other people just cut the stud on the head so it slids in.

easy does it

 

i just bang it out, its ok if it rubs the hub...

 

that only works with smaller hubs : Ie ef's etc.

try doing it with a gsr hub or a EX hub. it isnt happening w/o some SERIOUS grinding and is not possible w/ a gsr/ls hub.
