Question

4 out of 5 front wheel studs broken into half how can i fix it,thank u very much for your help.

Answer 1

Remove the wheel, remove the brake caliper, and rotor. Rotate the hub assembly to gain clearance for a new stud and punch out the old with a punch or by hitting on the end with a hammer. Insert the new stud and put a smooth washer on it and run a lug nut on it backwards and tighten until head of stud is flush with the hub. repeat until all are replaced. It will be easier if you put a little lube on the washer and nut. Reinstall the rotor and caliper.
Now here is where the fun begins. Torque all the nuts with a torque wrench, 65-75 pounds. This is important on steel wheels to keep from warping the rotor, and on alloy wheels because if they come loose they will snap all your wheel lugs. After you run a few miles, retorque and your problem will be solved.

Answer 2

1. Remove the tire
2. Remove the brake caliper
3. Remove the hub From the axle
4. There will be a dust cap, remove it, then a cotter pin and a large nut, remove them, then the hub will come off. the studs are pressed into the hub. You can go to any local auto parts store and purchase new studs, usually about 2 bucks apiece. It is never a good idea to insert the studs and then draw them in with the lug nut, always make sure they are fully seated in the hub before you install the wheel. I would suggest you take the hubs to a local machine shop (use the yellow pages or the Internet to find one in your area) and they will press them in for you for a nominal fee (if you're nice maybe free).
5. you will need to remove the brake pads from the caliper and compress the piston inside the caliper, then reinstall the brake pads, put the hub, nut and cotter pin back in place, then install the caliper on the disk. If you do not know how to do this I would suggest taking it to a brake place like brake masters...they could do this in under an hour for you.

Answer 3

so long as the wheel is off, its a fairly easy fix. The wheel studs basically hold themselves into the hub, so you dont need any special tools. You can tap them on the front with a hammer, and they will come out.

to install the new ones, just pull them through the holes as best as you can, and when you torque the wheels on, the lugnuts will tighten them into place.

Answer 4

If there is entirely a small volume of smoke it rather is in all probability merely condensation that's general. this could be extra pronounced in chillier climate because of the fact the chilly air reasons extra water vapor interior the exhaust to condense and are available into sight. it rather is not probably a situation led to via a defective EGR valve sensor because of the fact if there have been a severe situation with that sensor the automobile in all probability does no longer run easily at idle. If the quantity of white smoke is better than the quantity that could desire to normally be attributed to condensation you have leaky head gasket. save an eye fixed on the vehicles coolant point, coolant leaking into the vehicles cylinders throughout the time of the pinnacle gasket burns inflicting white smoke. If the leak is severe adequate you are able to observe a drop in coolant point after driving for awhile, you are able to as properly be waiting to sniff the antifreeze burning interior the exhaust. If the pinnacle gasket is your situation your watching an costly restoration (think of $seven hundred to $800). good luck.
