How difficult is it to reaplace a stripped wheel stud on the R? Acura wanted to charge me like a little over 50 bucks for the job. Should I do it my self and does anybody have a howto to do it or simply explain this. I know it cant be that hard.
The main task would be the caliper and brake asm.

He put the lug nut back on for now beucase I am going to have to get that replaced. Is this "safe" for now? BTW: its the rear wheel. Thanks in advance.

 

rear is easier than front. but is still time consuming

 

I know when I broke a stud on my prelude, it was not easy to change. I had to remove the whole knucke/hub assembly and give to a machinest friend to press out and the new ones in. THere was noway in hell the stud was able to be removed without removing the hub. Considering the brakes are the same, it may be the same scenario.

I'm sure others in here have dealt with this in the past....

 

do I have to get it done sometime soon or can I drive like that. I dont run it at the track or anything.

 

integra and civic, you remove the caliper, and the 32mm nut and it comes right out.

 

goodyear/big o tires/etc will do it for half the price at least.

 

thanks man, I will have to check that out!

 

And pick up some antiseize while you're at it.

 

Not a surprise that the prelude has to be different...
