How do I change front wheel studs? I have a badly stripped front wheel stud, so I'm only running on 4 lugs right now. How do I replace the stud? Does anyone have a part number?

Re: How do I change front wheel studs? Not hard, go to the dealer and get a new stud.
Take off the wheel, caliper, brake rotor, then line up the hub so that the stud won't hit anything, then bash it with a hammer. Should pop out with a couple of whacks.
To install the new stud, use several washers under a lug nut, and use a socket with a large wrench to pull it into it's hole. Once it's flush, reassemble everything.
Not hard at all. Have fun! <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Re: How do I change front wheel studs? That's the right way to do it! I did it the hard way without the washers and using a hammer. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> I would suggest the right way. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> The studs are about $2 each from the dealership.
