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.

 

anyone?

 

 

Tha big nut is the axle nut. It is 32mm. You must remove the axle nut and use a slide hammer to remove the hub. It can be tough sometimes. Sell me your shell BTW

Ok So i need a 32mm socket and a breaker bar I assume?
How does a slide hammer work?

 

check your other thread w/ this exact same question for a tutorial

 

Whats up man i just did all of my front studs on my integ its really simple. 1. take off your brake caliper and hang it off your spring (to get it out of the way) 2. pull the rotor off. 3. get your 32 mm socket and a big *** braker bar and take out he center nut. (be careful taking it off it will be tight. I broke my 24 inch braker bar trying to get mine off.) 4. get a slam hammer (get one from autozone for free of their loner tool program), and alxle puller (also from auto zone) Attach the axle puller to the studs and slam it off. to get the studs out i used a pice of wood and a bfh (big ******* hammer) and knocked them out and in. Just be careful you get them ALL the way back in. and when your done you will have to use the slam hammer to get the hub back on. When you put the center nut back on tourqe it to 139 lbs.
