2003 dodge Caravan FWD wheel stud replacement

Do you have a picture from the Chilton library on the front wheel hub removal? I was told there is not enought room to knock out the wheel stud like on the rear and that the wheel hud needed to be pulled. Can this be pulled with out special tools? I want to do this over the weekend.
Thanks
Noel

I don't have a pic but there is usually not enough room to slide the stud out and in. However, we don't completely remove the hub assembly. On the back of the knuckle (item that the hub is installed into) there are 3 or 4 bolts that hold the hub. Remove these out about 1/2 an inch and you can slide the hub out just far enough to get the studs in and out. On some the outer cv joint is kind of in the way and you may need to remove the axle nut and push the axle in slightly in order to get a socket on the hub bolts. There isn't really any special tools needed but you have to make sure the new stud is fully installed (seated) otherwise the lug nut could back off. Hope this helps.

Three Wheel studs broken how do I replace preferably cheap?!

Here is some help for you to replace the broken wheel studs on your 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, you will need to follow these steps:

First, you will need to remove the tire that has the broken studs. You can do this by using a tire jack to lift the car and then using a lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts. Once the lug nuts are loosened, you can remove the tire from the car.

Once the tire is removed, you will need to use a hammer and punch to carefully tap the remaining pieces of the broken studs out of the hub.

Next, you will need to purchase new wheel studs that are compatible with your car. You can find these at an auto parts store or online.

Once you have the new studs, you will need to use a press or a hydraulic tool to press the studs into the hub. Make sure that the studs are pressed in evenly and securely.

Finally, you can replace the tire and lug nuts, and lower the car back to the ground. Test the new studs to make sure that they are secure and that the tire is properly seated on the hub.

The stud on the Right Front Rotor is turning how do i fix it?

Hi, what you will need to do is take 5 to 6 washers and take the wheel off and put the washers on over the stud that is loose and take a lug nut and tighten it down till it pulls the stud back into the hub. if it does not tighten up and spins you will need to replace it. just take the brake caliper and bracket off and the rotor. then pound the old stud out and insert the new one then use the washers and lug nut to pull the stud into the hub. good luck

2000 Dodge Caravan....broken wheel studs...

Yeah , it's a fairly simple repair, All the wheel studs must be replaced and lug nuts also.Closely examine the wheel or get competent tyre replacement company to double check for damage ! Remove the brake disc caliper and brake disc itself (usually 2 cross head screws) , tap off (gently) it may be stuck thru corrosion / rust etc , Broken studs can be knocked out(towards drive shaft ) of the hub assy with a suitable drift and hammer (splined into hub) . The studs are a servicable replacement part. Check all other wheel nuts as this is usually a result from poor fixing or wheel replacement recently .. Good luck

Will the wheel studs come out of the hub on a 99 caravan without removing the hub?

Yes they will, front or back, smack the end of stud with a good ballpeen hammer and wiggle them out, **** the new one in place with lots of big washers and socket and torque handle, then torque your wheel nuts with rim on to 85 ft lbs. GOOD LUCK, RDJRP

How to replace rear wheel stud. 2003 dodge caravan

Should be a pressed in wheel stud, remove hub and have old one pressed out or you can do it the primitive way, by double nutting the old stud and striking it with a hammer to pound it out, if threads are bad then just strike the stud by itself , then replace new stud in opposite fashion...
