Changing front wheel studs

[DR1FT]

So I've got a stripped wheel stud on my front drivers side, does anybody know how to chane it, need help ASAP. Cheers

buy a new one, you can undo them out of the back of the wheel hub.

hot glue

They should tap out the back, you may have to take pieces off to do it.

Pretty sure my lancer had screw in ones... i could be wrong alot of cars they are tapped in.

Either way take the wheel off and you may be lucky and can get to it without pulling the hub out

Yea stripped some studs myself, Mate all you do is Get some WD-40 spray the back of the studs and where the inserts are.. Get a Rubber mallet, and smash the studs out from the front, give it a good hit several times.. Should pop out from the back.. Once you take out the stud, Insert the new one in from behind and tighten it by using the bolt and tightening the stud through the hole tell you see its flush and inserted all the way through..

And yes U have to unbolt the brake caliper and the the disc rotor should slide straight out..

Usually they're press-fit... They have a keyed or star patterning, that allows for a tight fit...

Knock out as recommended above. If that becomes difficult, heat the surrounding hub slightly (not glowing red hot!) and that will assist....

they're pretty easy to smash out, accidentally removed a few off mine when I got angry at the driveshafts being seized once... put some bolts on the ones you don't want to ruin just in case you hit them accidentally.

Ive got new ones I just wanna know, do I take the disk out to replace it or what?

 

[tryg]

The rotor should come off after the wheel and caliper are removed... that should leave you the hub... then knock out the stud from the hub.
