Replacing wheel studs are not the easiest of scenarios on a honda but it can be done at home if you are a good mechanic and have the correct tools. Remember that you DO NOT need a press to install the new studs. Simply use the lug nut to pull the stud into position!

real easy... i replaced them on my crx.
this is all you do:
-take wheel off
-take caliper off
-take rotor off
-rip aluminum sheld off( i cut it with wire cutters and pulled it off the hub-remove the three screws with vicegrips since the not able to get to them with a screw driver)
-turn the thing with the lugs until you get the one you want to replace in the 10-11oclock position.(you will see that it will almost come out if you smack it with a hammer. the little area that keeps it from coming out will need to be shaved off with one of those stones on the end of a metal bar. stick that dremal rock thing on your drill and shave away the metal that keeps the lug bolt from coming out, once shaved it will slip out. took me like 2hr to do both fronts.
-you might have to shave alittle off of the new lug bolt to get it o fit... but thats it!!
