Wheel stud removal
I snapped a few studs on my front axle, how do i remove them and put the new ones in? I have no idea, do i just pound them out the back or something? Please help A.S.A.P
1) First of all take off your wheels (whatever side that has the broken studs).
2) Next remove your brake caliper, only two bolts holding them (make sure you don't twist your brake line.
3) Then you remove the whole hub assembly by removing the front upper control arm bolt and lower control arm bolt and the rack & pinion bolt.
4) After that you can take the whole hub assembly off.
5) Now you will need to remove the rotors by using a an impact screwdriver, if you have one. If not any autoparts store should have it. Use the impact screwdriver to remove the two screws tha is holding them. Might need a hammer to just bang a little on the center of the rotor to get it moving out.
6) Look at which studs are broken and bang them out with the hammer or you can use a smaller size bolt to help aid with the hammer to get it out.
7) Now you when you put back in the new studs you just use an open end lug nut. Put the new stud in the hole, twist the lug nut in (you might need the assistence of a impact driver).
8) It's in!
9) Follow steps 5-1 to put everything back together.
If anybody else got suggestions, or I might left out something. Please help a fella out.

step 3 looks impossible, what the hell is all that, i only have the caliper removed im tryin to get the damn rotor off, those freakin screws wont budge and i dont have an impact screwdriver? Im pullin my hair out!
drill out the screws with a drill and a metal bit, only honda uses those screws anyways there useless... but here is the step that was forgotton, you are going to have to remove your hubs from your spindles, then you have to buy new wheel bearings (most likely) if this was the front brakes you were talking about, the rears are fairly straightforword to the instructions that were just mentioned.
yeh they are the front. The studs wont come out, i have to take apart the whole front suspension and take it somewhere to get the axle part pressed out so i can fit the studs in there. Please tell me there is another way becuase it is so god damn rusted it takes me an hour to get one nut off. Sometimes i get so discouraged i want to give up!
