Depends on what vehicle. Most are right hand, but some are left, such as early fords (1950s). Most left hand thread wheel studs are stamped "L" on the outer end of the stud.
wheel studs are removed by removing tire and wheel , then pound the studs out of hub by hammering on the threaded end until they are out. buy new studs and pull them snug and flush with the nuts and a spacer to take up most of the room between hub and nut
THE INNER STUDS FOR THE INNER WHEELS ARE NUTS AS WELL AND SECURE THE INNER WHEEL. USE A SQUARE DRIVE TO REMOVE THESE STUD/NUTS. DRIVER SIDE NUTS/STUD ARE LEFT HANDED(STAMPED WITH A BIG (L)). AND PASS SIDE RIGHT HANDED. THESE TORQUE SPEC OUT @ 400-450 LB FT. OF TORQUE, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE A CHEATER BAR OR HEAVY DUTY INPACT!
The stud has to be hammered out if you don't have the tools to do this then I suggest you take it to a tire shop they don't charge much. depending if it's front wheel or rear wheel drive will determine what has to be done. If it's a rear axle they will remove the tire and drum and knock out the old one with a hammer and punch and replace it with a new one same size, they can hammer it back in our use washers to pull it into place this is the same on the front wheel. You will need to measure the bolt to get the right length and width. tire shop will have the stud you need.
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.
you have to hammer the studs through the spindle to get them out. then **** the new ones in with a nut and lots of washers. put grease on the washers and threads before you **** the studs in.
what your going to need to do is take the brake caliper off so that removal of the old rotor is possible. you have to take the rotor off because the tire stems thread in from behind the rotor and it just makes it easier to remove the broken ones. you should then be able to just turn them out of the wheel hub but rem, they are most likely going to be reverse thread so you want to turn them toward the right to loosen them.
Safely jack and support the vehicle,remove wheel and tire assembly,with a punch and ball peen hammer (and safety glasses) or just a hammer,carefully knock broken stud out of the hub,it will fall out the back.Now take new stud and spin the hub until you find a spot where it will insert into the hole from the backside.Start the stud through the hole from the backside of the hub.Now at this point,you are going to PULL the stud into the hub,but the threads must be protected from galling.I use Anti Seize compound and some flat washers.Liberally coat the threads of the new stud with anti seize compound to protect the threads,stack some flat washers on the stud,install the lug nut,and tighten by hand.The stud will pull into the hub some.Remove lug nut,and stack more washers on the stud,and repeat the tightening process.Repeat process until stud is fully seated.Now remove anti seize compound with brake cleaner or equivalent solvent.Reinstall wheel and tire,and call this job completed.Remember to rate this solution.Good luck.
lugnuts and wheel studs
you will have to pull the barke drum off and knock the studs out and should be able to get new ones in and use a nut and spacer to pull the new studs tight
