I'm trying to replace wheels studs on my 94 Integra. I took the wheel off but I cannot remove the nut holding on the hub. I left the brakes on to hold it in place and used wd-40 but it still wouldn't budge.

Any advice? Thanks for the help.

 

get a breaker bar

 

yeah... slide a pipe on the end of the wrench so you get that much more length to work with

 

I'm just afraid of breaking something? I had a large wrench inside another and it didn't seem to budge, I probably had at least a 3' lever arm. I just want to make sure we're talking about the center nut. It's not reverse thread or have some kind of keeper, does it?

 

dont be afraid it will come out. Step on the breaker bar and it will help with your weight. We are talking about the ceter bolt. You wont break anything at all.

 

u dont even need to go thru all that,i didnt on my 96,
just remove the caliper,caliper bracket,pads etc,spray a lil pb blaster or wd-40 ,on the stud,hit it with a hammer to get it out,
to put one back in,insert it from behind as far as u can,put the closed end of a wrench around the stud and tighten the nut down,the wrench is jut to keep the nut from digging into the rotor,it will pull the stud right into place,worked like a charm for me...

the front well thats another story..

The outer part of the nut is staked down into a groove in the axle. Drive a nail or something in there to push the nut out of that groove. That'll help, but you still need a big lever.

 

your absolutely right jim,long day at work for me and i didnt pay attention...
