Default How to replace studs on front brakes?

2 of my studs snapped off on my front brakes, so I cant put any lugnuts on the wheel.

I bought new studs, and removed the rotor and caliper. Whats the easiest way to replace the studs with new ones?

take that to a wheel shop. unless you have air tools.

this is how we do it at the shop i work at.
1. after rotor is off, use a bfh to hammer the studs out of their holes.
2. insert new studs, put washers and a new lug and use the impact wrench to tighten the **** out of it until the stud is pulled through and is seated. thats the hard part to do w/o air tools.
then put everything back on.

its a bitch to do it even at a shop...
make sure a new lug goes on the new stud.

theres no room to hammer the studs out, it seems like id have to take out the whole hub assembly to have enough room to remove or install studs.

You have to take the knuckle out & press the hub out of the wheel bearing. This usually destroys the bearing. On the rear there's enough room to take them out. Maybe also on gen1 or gen2 cars??

Check carefully in case there's a cutout in the steering knuckle, where you can push the stud thru. (Not on my '95 GSR, so I bet yours is the same.)

ive never seen it done or replaced studs on any teg, but for most other cars, we hammer them from the front, and the studs pop out the back side of the hub.
no air tools=no go tho.

if the two studs you have left are directly across from each other, you could put a wheel on and limp your car to a shop. that would be safer than having two right next to each other. def no highway driving tho.

this is just one thing you cant easily DIY, unless you own a shop...
