how to replace a stud?
how to replace a stud?
well i was going to get my wheels mounted on last friday. I go to the shop and they couldnt get a lug off b/c of over torqueing. Anyways, i bought a new stud already. so today i will get with my friend to try and break the stud off and replace it. does anyone know if there is a DYI on this? and does anyone know what tools i need to get this stud replaced?
thanks!!!
one thing right after another
o yea i i forgot to add its on my rear wheel!

Get some kind of metal rod, I usually use a socket set extension bar. Something around 6-8inches so you don't bang your hand. Then you will need a big 3-5lb hammer. Place the rod on top of the stud and start hammering it out. Then when you put the new studs back in, hammer it back in from the back and then thread on the lugs and it should pull the new lugs into place.
That's the way I've always done it and it has always worked. The other way is to get a special C-Clamp tool that presses the old stud out and new one back in.

Remove caliper and rotor....then get a small sledge hammer...about 5 lbs...and bang it out the bad stud....then snake it out of the brake assembly.
Snake new stud in place. To "press" the new stud back in....I used alot of washer rings+lug nut and torqued it til it pulled the new stud through the hole...make sure its flush mounted (on the rear hub). If you have air tools...this would be easier.
good luck.

use a torch to heat up the stud, to prevent your bearing getting damage from beating it with the hammer. after it heats up then hit it with a ball pein hammer. then put the new one in and use a big bolt over the new stud,put the nut then tighten it.
just take the stud out into the field behind the barn, tell him what a good boy he is and how hard this is for you and then shoot him. oh wait wrong kinda stud 
just take it to a tire/brake place they can do it for like 15-25 i had to do mine once

If you don't have air tools I'd let someone else do it. I've pressed new studs in using a 4-way and a lug nut and it wasn't nearly as easy as it should be. Took alot of muscle and I'm not a little guy.
Im actually not too sure how many stud they covered. I had 2 stud broken on two separate tire. They charged me 25 bucks using their studs
