I have a stripped front wheel stud on my 96 hatch. I want to replace it but Im not sure if I have the right tools to do it myself. I did some searching but I pretty much just found how-to's on eg's and people arguing if you need a press to do the stud replacement on a 96 civic. My question is, do I need anything special to change my stud? Or do I just need to take the caliper and rotor off hammer the old stud out and put the new one in? Any help is appreciated.

 

bump, no one has done this?

 

i have you need a press... it sucks trust me... the hub is in the way so you cant remove them.. and if you do... you cant put the studs on str8 because of the angle ...i took it to my friends shop and he did it for me

you can doi it without a press, does suck but it can be done.

oh, yeah forgot to tell you, if you don't want to do this, you can always pick up a spare spindle at any salvage yard and just swap it out, that's what i did. but don't take to long on this, or your bearing will start to go bad.

I think we are just gonna replace the stud because salvage yards around here dont have a lot of civics. Also the part is like $3 at Honda. I dont have a press but we do have a lot of tools that should help us get the stud out. Thanks for the replies.

 

No problem... you dont need a press like mentioned above.. but is a pain to do... goodluck changing the stud!
