Have you done it before.... are you sure thats all it take cause from what i heard, you might have to take out the hub... Some thing i heard from random people. But i really need to know who has hands on these type of situation that i have. And if all it takes is taking off the caliper i will try that out and let you know if it worked... But are positive all you have to do is remove the caliper.........

Yeah he is right. Remove the caliper and the bracket for the caliper and where the caliper goes there is an opening. pound it out and pound a new one back in. I use a ratchet extension to pound the new one back in. A lot of people think you have to take the hub off because they dont look closely enough at it. but dont waste your time

Does this also go along with a '94 honda accord? I torqued one lug to tight and now it's real loose on the wheel. Will I have problems getting it off too???

yes, this would work for 90-97 Accords.

As for getting that lugnut off, I don't know. Have you tried to remove it yet? Does it just spin? If it just spins, I've heard of people putting a little JB Weld on the back side of the stud to hold it in place while they remove the lugnut then grind the JB Weld away and remove/replace the stud.

Vice grips, channell locks, etc. are a little better the JB weld
