Replacing Wheels studs
I have a 1990 acura integra and i had just got the vehicle 3 weeks ago and it has three broken wheel studs one on the left front and i each on the rear sides. I was woundering if it was difficult to replace them and would i need to press out my wheel bearing in order to do the repair please lmk thanks
As far as I know the right way is to remove the wheel bearing and have the studs pressed out and then have the new ones pressed in. I have a feeling that there is a "redneck" method to doing it though. I just havent heard about it yet. Good Luck
Use a slide hammer and pull the bearing off the hub and hammer off each stud.
There used to be a write up about it somewhere on here... I'm on my mobile otherwise I'd link you... Its pretty easy and straight forward good luck

I can't imagine it being that much different than this http://www.team-integra.net/forum/di...PagePosition=5
there's a (redneck) way thats super easy and a whole lot faster than tearing your hub all apart:
1. remove brakes (all the way down to the rotor)
2. pop out the broken studs (a large hammer works great)
3. take the new stud and put some anti-sieze on the splines, and put it in the hub.
4. using a new lug nut (that you dont plan on using again) a spacer nut, and some elbow greese pull it thru.
this is how we do it were i work. takes about 10 min. and you dont risk destroying the bearing
