fock eh, we were dropping my car today and my driver side wheel stud broke off...freakin 3 out of 4 broke....any idea on how to change the goddamn stud???? my ride is a 00 civic coupe.......please let me know

 

easiest money you could make as a mechanic, hammer the remainder out

buy some new ones at honda, or a part store, grind a little bit of the edge awau so you dont have to take the entire suspeinson off the car, youll get it when you see it, slid into place, grab impact gun, shoot the a open ended lig all the way down the stud and it should just pop in if not shove some spacers/washers beteen the rotor and the nut and try it again repeat 2 times :D and ps whne you raise a car lower it slowly

 

Theres a whole how to on it if you look on the FAQ forum. But you need to rent/buy a slide hammer to take off the hub, unless you want to just send the whole knuckle to a machine shop. Takes about an hour.

 

yea, we tried doing that but the hub got stuck and it wouldn't come off!!! gonna take it to a shop tomorrow morning, is it gonna be espensive to change the studs???

 

shoudlnt be i charged 1 hour per stud

 

since it was really hard to take out the hub and it seems to be stuck.....is that gonna be a problem to change the studs???

 

um my friend stripped his and we changed it no problem
u need to hammer it hard right on the stud for atleast 20+ times
u must have exp hammering with force
after its out..put the stud throug and put the lugnut over it and torque it in place. u will hear a snap or "click" in a way and repeat 4 , 5 times

 

did your friends car have a little slot behind the rotors so that you for hammer your stud out???? cuz it didn't on my dumbass car man....it's weird!!

 

^^^
no the correct way is to press the hub apart...then hammer or press the stud in.

 

can anyone find any link(s) on how it works??? i'm very bothered by this situation...not knowing if it's gonna cause me a lot of money or not??? and thanks for the help guys

Last time I broke a stud, I ended up taking it to a shop and they charged me $25. It shouldn't be that much more for 3 total.
Just tell them to make sure to be careful with the hub center ring. Cause otherwise, you'll have some trouble putting your wheels on. (guess how I know)
Although, I'm not sure how much you'll spend just getting the car to the shop.

 

thanks for the help man, towing is not a problem.....i have AAA......hahah, free towing...

 

no problem, but just to be on the safe side, call up and canvas prices. Some places would charge an arm and a leg just cause they know you won't be able to do it yourself

 

that's koo man, took it to my local mechanic...but expletive, it took AAA 3 ******* hrs to tow my car man......but anyways, got my studs fixed for 40 bucks but then my ******* axle was fucked up too so got that replaced for 80 bucks too....besides me spending unnecessary money for the drop.....it's a good experience....HAVE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS what they're doing!!!!!!!! thanks for all the help guys (especially those who tried to help me fix my ride hands on)........
