Just when everything on my car is breaking after the winter, it just got worse.
Not sure if these are called wheel studs or not...but what do I have to replace to fix this?

Sorry for the huge picture lol

Go to canadian tire and buy a wheel stud, they're extremely easy to change, hammer out the old one, insert new and put wheel back on and tighten.

so easy to change other than the hub being in the way of getting the new full size one in

Do I disassemble everything like the rotor and all the stuff behind? Then I punch it out and it will fall from behind?

lol...this brings back memorries...

I drove with 3 lug nuts and a broken stud for about a year on the left front wheel. Nothing became of it. Simply replaced it when I did both front wheels bearings.

Which brings me to the point, on my 00 SiR I had to push out the bearing and separate the hub to install a new wheel stud. There was no other way. but from what everyone else is saying, sounds like yours is different and you can replace it without separating the whole hub.


Also, buy a torque wrench and don't torque the lug nuts past 90ft-lbs.

this guy has a goog trick

if it was only that easy on the front of a civic...but its not hahaha...unless you grind off a part of the back of the wheel studd

Cynikal is right... you cant simply pound it out and pull a new one through. You have two options

1 remove, caliper, rotor, and the hub which hold the studs (risk of ruining the wheel bearing)or
2 dye grind a channel in the knuckel to make the needed clearance

everyone that says you can just knock it out and replace hasn t had to do it on a EG other car are different

I have personally done it with only sliding the caliper off and pulling the rotor without pulling the hub. It's not fun but it can be done. The dust shield gets in the way, but if you have the whole front end jacked up and in neutral, you can rotate the hub around untill you can get the new one in. It wont go in straight, and you will probably damage the threads a bit. But I just re cut them with the lug nut a bit and it was fine.

wow, i actually never knew, one could snap a stud without immense hp, i have although herd rumors that cheap quality lugs or those after flea market nuts cause these to break. but yours could be from extreme rust.

that is really bad luck, good luck on the fix, get them welded this time, and get titanium ones.

honDuh

Get them welded??
So that when he breaks the ****ty aftermarket ones again he cant just punch it out??

Ive done them many times on mine and friends cars. Caused due to just age and/or corrosion.
Front wheel you have to remove the hub assembly from the spindle as the lug doesnt have clearance from behind.
Rear wheel same thing. Have to remove the Hub. Rear wheel is way easier tho cuz its just one nut under the dust cover

Thats how it is for 92-95 civics at least.

sounds like a good time to do a 5stud conver.

option 3 gring a small portion off the back side of the new stud so there is clearance for the hub...this is the honda-tech special way
