    How to replace lug studs????

    i was changing my right rear tire on my 96' and put a lug nut in wrong, now the stud is broken and i can't screw in another lug nut, i know these are easily replaceable, but i can't figure out how to do it, help! i already have the replacement studs and nuts

    you have to take the wheel and the rotor and caliper (to take off the rotor) and then theres the piece that holds them all in, just pound out the broken one and put the new one in its place.

    Take drum cover off and hit the broken stud with a hammer, it will push to the inside and then when u get that one out. The same way u got that one out ur gonna get the new one in. Then use a lug on the stud to pull it thru the hole. Thats how i did mine

    sorry for the late response but yes, a rubber hammer. or you like a piece of wood and hit it with a regular hammer.

    Lol cool he would have fucked up the rubber mallet to fix a )5.00 problem, but yeah with a peice of wood that might work.
