wheeel studs

[paul2000]

HI lads need your help again , can you tell me if the wheel studs on the front wheels knock out ,is it a matter of removing the caliber and hub or is there more to do hope you can help many thanks paul

[GlynMo]

Yes, they knock out with a soft-faced hammer/mallet. It's possible to do it with the brakes in situ, just rotate the disc until the stud will clear the suspension when it comes out.

many thanks Glnmo will try after tea if i can do it myself it will save a trip to the garage

It's a bit fiddly getting the new ones in with the discs on the car because they need a good whack to seat them. I got them so far in then used an old nut and a spacer to draw the studs tightly home.

Had a look and ithink i will take hub off as there is more room
thanks again paul

Paul, I pressed mine out with the hubs off but it's the same difference. They have an interference fit on the splines. Pete

No need to remove callipers, I've done mine a few times.
I could only seem to get them in and out at about the 2 o'clock position.
Hit out with a hammer and then pull the new ones through using a larger nut as a spacer in-between the wheel nut and hub

[brett84]

Do one at a time then you can use a bar or crowbar etc to lock the hub in place while tightening up.
Kind of like this
