I have a couple of wheel studs that need replacing for rwc....how do i do it myself and where do i buy them?
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Are they front or rear studs?
This is a bit of a double edged sword here really. On one hand it is easy to change the stud without taking the front hub/rotors off. All you need is two hex nuts (not wheel nuts) of the same thread as the stud. Screw both nuts onto the stud and then tighten them up against each other. Now put your spanner on the inside nut and start winding it out. installation is the reversal of this procedure but using the spannere on the outside nut to tighten it. You may want to put some never sieze on the thread as well. It just makes it easier to remove again at a later time if you have to. Note you will need someone to put their foot on the brake to stop the rotor from turning while you are trying to remove the stud.
