Hello. I got a 93 civic ex 2dr. and I need to change the wheels studs. Ive got the studs and all the rotor and stuff off but they wont budge. Has anyone done this? and how did you approach completeing the task? The hub almost looks like it has to be replaced but honda here in town tells me otherwise..but who knows most of them are idiots here lol. Thanks for any help.

 

hammer them out. you DO have a big hammer right?

 

30 ton press does wonders..

jesse

 

i'm sure it does but you don't get to hit anything....with your big hammer

 

well I pounded away and it didnt budge..this sux

Did you try it with the lug on?? I know you can hit it better with the lug on (more of a target)??

 

Impact hammer will get them out, then you can put the stud in, put on a lug nut with the wheel off, and tighten it to get the stud pressed in.

No press is needed. Just a hammer and some air tools.

 

pressing them in/out would just be the "correct" way of doing this.... thats all

 

well how ******* hard do you have to hit them then lol
