anyone have a decent set of directions as to replacing a wheel stud?? Archive searching is disabled. This is on an 00 Si BTW, but I figured I would count on my fellow ITR owners.

Thanks in advance

 

To get the old one out just beat it out with a hammer and a punch. To reinstall a new one alot of guys say you have to take off the hub. You don't. The main problem is that you can't put the new stud back in straight without messing up the threads because of the brake caliper. To solve this just take a grinder to one side of the head of the stud and flatten it out. This will allow the stud to slide straight in. Once you've done this find a nut that will fit over the stud loosely then thread your lug over this and tighten it down good to make sure the stud is securely in place. After this you are ready to go.

 

thanks AA...I'm doing it for a buddy tomm

EDIT: what size center punch?? Does it matter?
