TAKE VECHICLE TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP LIKE SEARS OR OTHER TIRE SHOP IN YOUR AREA.THEY CAN PRESS STUD OUT OF BEARING WITHOUT DAMAGING IT AND PRESS IN A NEW ONE WITH NEW LUG NUT.
If you only have one, you really can ignore it. To replace it you have to remove the wheel and pound it out. It comes from the back. Since it is broke it will come out easy. Putting the new one in you have to force it a little move it around until you find the area that gives you the most room to work it in. It is best if you can find a big nut to fit over it and tighten the stud using the new nut for the stud and putting the big nut to take up the area of the stud that is not threaded.
1. get new studs and nuts 2.remove wheel 3. remove caliper at bracket to spindle connection(2 18mm bolts?)you may need to remove caliper from bracket,but not always nessacery. Or remove drum,then to #5 4.remove rotor,will need a hammer, tap inbetween studs dont wreck good studs and see if new studs can be installed without removing parking brake shoes. If there is no clearance to get new stud in you will need to remove shoes. 5.Pound out old studs place new stud in hole use a washer on outside then put a nut on and tighten to install stud, A air gun or some type of impact tool will be very helpful. Check to see that stud has enough threds to pull stud all the way thru ,add more washers if nessecary dont let the nut run out of threds it will **** to get back off and wreck new stud. 6. if you dont have air gun or feel comfertable removing brakes bring it to a reputable garage, shouldnt cost more than $70+ parts to get all new studs put in on one wheel.
usually they are an assembly but when i get crazy and damage studs i raise and support both front wheels so i can turn them and slowly move the hub where you can fit teh stud in and use an open lugnut to tighten down it will pull the stud in (i use an air compressor for this)
Yes you can replace the broken wheel stud. The wheel studs are pressed into place, and a vise will work to press it out, and in. You will have to remove the wheel hub, and then use a deep well socket and a bolt or something smaller than the actual stud to remove it with a vise. To replace it, you will need to use the deep well socket on the thread side of the stud, and press the new one in with the vise.
I hope this helps you, and I wish you luck with your repair.
