Front left wheel on my 89 ef hatch, needs a new stud. Just one, anybody know how to take it out?

 

Pics?

 

You'll need to remove the spindle from the knuckle. You'll more than likely need access to a press but you can get around that if you are very careful with a BFH and an appropriately sized socket. After that's separated you can tap out the broken stud (or use a press) and replace it with the new one.

 

just stick with 3 studs? lol

 

I am sticking with 3 for now, and thankyou 24ten

 

NO NO NO. That is NOT smart. Get it fixed NOW. If it was on the rear, it would be not so bad, but this is on the front driving wheels.

 

I found it easier to just get the whole thing from a junkyard.. This happened on my beater integra from toe being hilariously out

 

yeah dont roll with just three studs

 

You can pound it out the back and shave part of the back off the new one.
No need to press the hub out and deal with a new bearing and that mess.

I've done quite a few this way and there are write-ups you can find for it as well.

 

Exactly - come on redneck you are supposed to know this stuff already. All of us backwoods men know all the tricks, you must be a boy still.

 

Precisely.
Even Google knows a lot about this redneck stuff.

The ones I found here on Honda-Tech all had broken pictures.

 

^Good stuff, I'll need to remember that for next time

 

Well im 15 so im not gonna know much just got in the honda game. And im still not sure how dumb and dangerous it is to ride like it cause i baught this civic off my older brother and he just stuck a standard on one wheel and rode 3 on the right front. but i found a couple that fit and its not ruined. But he just told me that it needs a camber kit. Is it really bad to drive without it or does it just eat up the tires?

 

Its a good time to get extended studs! Or redneck it!
