Whats up guys. I'm trying to replace the lug nut studs off my front wheels. I assume I will need to remove the hub to do this?
Some questions I had..

What size socket is needed to remove that big nut holding the hub in place?
Once I get that nut off will the hub simply come off or is there another step that much be done to get it off?

This is a 1991 civic si. Thanks guys.

 

help me out

 

 

how can no one know this?

 

swaps require the removal of this nut I know that for sure.. so why is it that on a forum about swaps doesn't know this??

 

remove the axle nut and then use aslide hammer to remove the hub. It is very simple.

I thought I just answered this quetsion?????

 

to do the studs of the hub u don't need to remove the hub

just kinda of think a bit

I did three without the use of such tool and removing the hub

I just sort of knocked them back without the shield for the brake rotor

and hammered the new ones in

u got to tilt a bit and once they are in u just straighten them out and one good wack and they are in

 

Sometimes it depends on the Honda model, on some you can remove the studs by hammering them through and a little wiggle-ing past the hub carrier; others you need to get the hub off because there is just not enough room. And if you are replacing them with extended studs and it was tight getting the stock ones out, you'll definitely need to pull the hub regardless.

I did it on a '91 CRX Si, should be the same as yours, and had to press the hub out. The axel nut is 32mm. You also need to remove the rotor, which means you need to move the caliper out of the way too. Then, you need a hydraulic press to get the hub out. Some people use a baby-sledge, but you run the risk of damaging something. Removal of the hub by either method usually destroys the wheel bearing, so you'll need to be prepared to replace that.

see I've read about this but I don't see how you can fit the stud through the hole because of head on the stud being too wide... I know you can kind of tilt it in but if you do this then you might mess up the threads on the new stud since you are kinda rubbing the threads against the inner holes of the hub correct? Maybe I can think of a way to protect the threads while fitting it in but by all means if I can do it without removing the hub I would go that route!
