so was rotating my tires today and i am finally fed up with the crappy studs i have one i cant even put a lug on and the others are getting there and not to mention my lugs are pretty shity to so what im going to do tom is buy new lugs and new studs
is there a good place to get them besides like autozone cause everyone has those lug keys? and can you even get new studs from them as well? cause ive never tried
also idk how to change the studs is it easy? or do i need certain tools?
thanks in advance for the help

 

You have to remove the entire hub assembly and pound the old ones out and pound the new ones in...not too hard but time consuming. Also, from what I hear not ALL the lug nuts sold at autozone have the same key pattern...I think they change them randomly.

 

ok i hope so ill try to buy good ones for lug nuts
but the studs im concerned about still i hope i can do it

 

plz be warned that you can damage your bearing in the process, i suggest getting your bearing replaced, it is the most awful and anoying sound in the world when you have a messed up bearing.

 

so what all parts should i buy to do a new stud change like if theres something else that i should due while im doing this?

 

studs, lugs, wheel bearings, brakes (only if you need them done since you gotta take them apart anyway) other then that just check down there and make sure everything looks on the up and up (brake lines, inner/outer tie rods, ball joins etc.)

 

yea most of the time you have to get everything pressed in and out and they say once you press out a wheel bearing you have to replace it with a new one

 

if you want good lug nuts buy volk ray lugs theyre pricey around $150 and extended studs not sure how much for those but look on ebay you can get some deals on there.

 

you dont need to press the spindle out to put the new studs in.

 

Witch out cutting studs or doing some kind of hack job Iv never heard or been able to replace the studs on the front with out pressing the hub apart and when you do press it apart you will need to replace the bearing because it always comes apart. I'm speaking from experience.
