DAMN...stripped a wheel stud on the front and the back..........how do I fix it guys?? I couldnt find anything archived for this topic............Do I need any special tools to do it? Can someone take me step by step through the process??

 

First off can you get the lug nuts off so you can take off the wheel?

 

1. Drive to shop
2. Pay $50
3. Drive home



j/k, but if the ITR hubs are anything like the regular integra, you're going to have a difficult time doing the front studs. For the rears, you'll have enough room to hammer out the old stud and put in the new one yourself

 

Yes, i can take off the wheel. Umm....i need a more in depth answer than that.... I know i just dont take the wheel off and start hammering the studs off do it? Dont i have to take off the rotor and calipers? Anyone?

 

hmmm..how about if u have a stripped LUG nut? how do u remove those??

 

drill drill drill

 

ttt

 

How bad stripped? Maybe you can use a die and rethread it.

Right way to do is to remove an punch out the stud and replace it.

 

LOL same thing happened to me. on the same rotor tho. here's what you do:
1. go to acura or honda and buy the new studs you need.
2. unscrew both screws on the hub.
3. take off the huge 32mm nut.
4. take of calipers pads, etc
5. remove hub and rotor.

self explanatory after that. same **** happened to me and it was a bitch at first but it's pretty damn simple. just remeber don't screw on the lug nuts too tite. a mechanic told me when you screw them on too tie it tends to not budge from the stud itself so what ends up happening is it's kinda "glued" on. hope that helps.

 

what method did you use to pull the hub?

 

1) Remove the (2) 14mm bolts that keep the caliper in place. Hold it up with twine to the upper control arm.
2) Remove the 32mm Axle Nut.
3) Remove the (2) bolts that keep the rotor intact. Need a screwdriver punch. Take off discs.
4) Attach a slide hammer to the hub. Give it about 3-4 tugs or until it pops off the bearing.
5) Hammer out old stud. Place new one back in. It wont seat properly at first. Just place it enough to where its in place.
6) Put the wheel nut on the new stud and impact it down to where you can see the back of the stud has seated corrrectly.
7) Use an impact gun when tightening the 32mm, also to push the hub back in place.


I really doubt your bearing will have to be replaced. Let us know which route you take.
