hey the search function wasnt working, just a quick question tho. is it possible to replace a broken lug stud on front disc brakes without getting new hubs, my friend says you have to get new bearings and have them pressed in. ??? please help!

lol
there are like 4 massive phillips head screws on the front part of the rotor, take those out and it should come off, then depending on how long its been since theyve been changed, you might have to give it a little "persuasion"

Some people have been known to chisel an end off the rotor side of the lug and slip it in. I've never done this method, but seems logical enough.
When I ran into this issue on a friend's 99 Civic, she ended up just having a shop push one in while doing some brake work. Doesn't seem like they would have pressed in a bearing, especially because the price seemed relatively low for so much work.

u dont have to get new bearings pressed in take ur caliper off take ur rotor off then smash the broken stud out with a hammer and then pull the new one back thru its a lil faster if u have an air gun to pull it thru with a heavy duty washer thats wat i use at work heavy duty rectangle washer+ lugnut+air gun= pulled thru stud then put brakes back together

if you cant slip the new one in from behind, you have to take the hub off. but be careful when putting it back in. you have to do something with the bearing or you will **** up the wheel bearing.. take it to a shop and have em do it

It is possible to install new lug nut studs without removing the front suspension pieces. You would have to grind down part of the stud backing. Otherwise new ones will not slip in without pulling off the front spindles. That means that the hub has to come apart. It is possible to pull the hub off and not have to replace it, but that is not 100% guranteed.

If you decide to go the "correct" route and pull the hubs apart, this is your chance to change to longer studs such as ARP, Blox, or Skunk2. All those are super long and require you use open ended lugnuts. One option you have and still keep closed ended lugnuts is the rear wheel studs from any 1996-1998 Acura TL. They are 0.375 inches longer than stock Civic Integra studs.

Here is my write up about it.
