Hey guys, I've got a 1994 Acura Integra GSR Sedan with a JDM ITR 98 Spec swap in it.

Anyways, I am the victim of some "harmless vandalism" when some dumbass kids were trying to steal my wheels and loosened the front lug nuts. After being unsucessful at getting the car off the ground to steal the wheels, they just finger tightened the lug nuts back on and disappeared.

This is where the fun started. I get home about 1:30am to take my Integra out for a little while (It had been 3 weeks since I had driven it). I make it about a mile from my house and feel what feels like a flat tire or bent wheel when it happens. The front left wheel comes off at 85mph. The wheel comes up through the fender ripping it off as well as the front bumper.

I never really lost control so I just pulled it over to the side of the rode to inspect the damage. I see my tire rolling across the other 3 lanes of the 6 lane interstate I was driving on. The damage seemed to be mostly around the suspension. The ball joint in the spindle was ground down to hardly nothing. Four wheel studs snapped off. Brembo rotor actually not that bad, but still needed to be replaced. Oh yeah, both axles popped out and did some slight damage to the splines.

Now for the question, how the hell am I supposed to get the wheel studs out without destroying my knuckle? I can't use an axle puller due to there not being enough stud to actually thread a nut on to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

use a bolt w/ a bit smaller in diameter and hammer them out, wd40 can helps loosen them. They aren't threaded in so it shouldn't be that hard.

pb blaster! works alot better then wd40....its more like an orange film and is magnetic so it gets in the tight spots for better losening
