TIRE IS FALLING OFF THREADED STUDS BROKEN - 1996 Buick LeSabre

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.

They are pressed in from the backside of the wheel hub that the studs stick out from. And not like needing a heavy press- once you get the old studs driven out (usually works with a hammer or small mallet), you can easily draw the new studs right into a snug fit by using the lug nuts, the new ones you just bought along with the 5 new studs, available at most any parts store.

See it's not the lug nuts that are broken, those nuts tighten the tire to the hub by the lug nut studs that the tire fits over. It is the studs themselves that are breaking off. This is common enough that parts stores carry replacements. A chevy dealership might have just your size in stock, if you don't mind paying extra high dealership charges, but it might not be that much for these rather inexpensive items. In a lot of cases, the studs can be removed from the hub as it sits, but there are cases where the hub must be removed from the vehicle for stud replacement. You can eyeball it and pretty much tell if the studs can be removed easily, after you take the wheel (tire) off. For any work on the vehicle, don't rely on the jack. Use blocks or jack-stands always.

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

You should be able to remove the tire and wheel assembly and have the rotor exposed. Remove the two bolts that secure the brake caliber and gently slide the caliper assembly off the rotor. The rotor should then come off. The broken wheel studs can be punched out with a 5 pound hand sledge and a good drift pin. Just install the new wheel studs the same way from the back side.

The studs will plainly hammer out. Hit the threaded part till it will wobble. A hole on the back side of the hub will be there to pull the broken stud out. Replace it with a new one and use the lug nut to tighten in in. Stacking washers will help very much doing this process. If none are available have the wheel installed to get the studs in tight
