Remove wheel. Beat stud out with a suitable drift. U can use an old bolt with a smaller diameter. Heating area around stud before aids in removal. U may need a sleeve over the new stud 2 help seat it but installing wheel& tighing nuts will pull it 2 its proper seat

Rotate the hub to a point that the stud will come out. Beat it out with a big hammer. You have to use a nut to pull the other one back in. If you don't have an impact gun, you'll need a breaker bar and some one holding the brake, so the rotor doesn't move.

Testimonial: "So, no need to remove the hub? That is Awesome news thank you kind sir"

    I don't. But sometimes (not yours I believe) you may have to grind on the spindle a little to get the new bolt in. Usually just GM's.

SOURCE: wheel bolt pattern

According to everything I can find, yes.
It's a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (or 5x4.50)
However, your offset (from where the wheels bolt on to the edge of the rim) might be a little different depending on the wheel.

SOURCE: how do i replace the pcv valve on a 2000 explorer xlt v6 sohc?

On the passenger side of the intake manifold, coming off the bottom about the center of the engine front to back, you'll feel a hose that comes off a nipple. That hose makes a 90 degree bend and goes around to the rear of the motor. Where that hose meets the Y-connector from the other side of the intake you'll find the PCV valve. It's almost impossible to see it with the hood installed, and even tougher to reach it.

A good source of information for Ford Explorers can be found here

SOURCE: ford fiesta 1999 rear wheel bearings

yes it is one big nut, however it looks like 4 individual nuts due to the fact that they are a thinly stacked layer or thin nuts held together by what you called the tab washer............only way to replace is to get a new one from ford........

Testimonial: "Thank-you for that, I have ordered a new one from the ford dealers. I just wonder why the 4 nuts were fitted in the first place? thank you"

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.

My 91 Honda Accord EX wagon has a broken lug on front driver side. How do i fix it, & will it be ok in the meantime with the three lug nuts on tight?

It is not recommended to drive it like that. It's not too bad to replace but it depends on your level of mechanical skill, You need to remove the brake caliper and disc and then you can simply knock the remains of the broken stud out with a hammer and punch, To fit the new one insert the stud and then put a large nut over the thread, then fit the lug nut and tighten it to pull the stud into the hub, then simply remove the lug nut and put it all back together.

I am working in changing the wheel lug studs on a 99 plymouth voyager i have the hub off and the 5 wheel studs out what is the easyest way to get the studs back in

a spacer and a lug nut are handy to draw the new stud in. *********** such as myself just put the wheel on and use the lugs and the lug wrench. note the lugs are tapered on the business end so if you use them with a spacer, put them on backwards to draw the stud in..

The screw stud for the lug nut broke off in the lug nut. how do I get the remaining part of the screw stud out??

You take off wheel, (if it's a front wheel stud) you take a punch and punch the stud inward and remainder of stud will fall out. If it's rear, remove drum and do the same. Wheel studs are pressed into the hubs from factory, you can punch them out and pull new ones in using lug nut. Stop by a local parts store they should be able to get you the new stud and lug nut and give you more info.

I broke my lugs and studs on my 2002 ford excursion on the rear wheel

they are pressed in so you will have to get a punch and a hammer to beat them out. The new ones will have to be pressed in or beat in with a hammer. be careful not to get them in crooked.

I broke a lug nut and I need to know how to get off the back plate to get to lug nut

If you mean the stud is broken where the lug nuts screws in to, all you need is a 5 pound hammer and hammer the stud till it breaks free from the wheel hub. With the new stud, just place back in place and use the nut to pull it back in to a press fit to the hub. Good luck and should be a 10 min fix.

Broken stud on left front wheel

Remove: wheel, brake caliper & rotor. Drive out the remaining stub with a hammer and punch. Insert a new stud and pull it into place by tightening the lug nut. Before running out of threads, remove the nut, insert a stack of washers or a large nut which slips over the threads without contacting them, tighten the lug nut to seat the stud.
