Question

i have to change my wheel studs and dont know what to do

Answer 1

I'll try talking you through this. If your wheels are driven buy half shafts front or rear your pretty much up the creek. The hubs on front wheel driven or rear wheel driven cars that have independent suspensions house the wheel bearings and studs. The studs are pressed from inside out of the actual wheel bearing. These hubs cannot be arbitrarily split to replace studs or bearings. You are required to buy the whole hub-bearing-stud assembly as a single part. They're easy to replace however. The big nut on the end of the axle shafts have to be removed first then the hub is bolted to the spindle and the nuts and or bolts to remove the hub is located behind the brake rotors. The calipers, brackets and rotors must be removed to do this job. I stand corrected if your car is rear wheel driven and has a solid rear axle. In this case the axles will have to come out and new wheel studs are pressed into the axle flanges. Some companies offer a yoke style press stud removable tool. Do not beat on the studs to remove the studs from the axle flanges you could bend or break a flange. Once the studs are out simply push the new stud in with your hand past the flange and slide a larger nut over the new stud and pull the new stud through the flange with the correct fitting stud nut. You're creating a pull press.

If you have enough access to the back of the hub then there is no need to remove it to change the wheel studs. There is usually an access hole you can line up by turning the hub to a particular position. After removing the wheel, screw one of the lug nuts back onto the stud to be replaced. Only screw it on a couple of threads then use a HEAVY hammer and hit the nut until the stud comes out from behind. Don't screw the nut too far back on the stud or you'll "mushroom" the end of the stud when you hit it with the hammer. After it's loose just remove the nut and remove the stud out from behind. To install the new stud, fit it through the hole and screw a lug nut on it backwards. If you have access to an impact gun that will work best. Just tighten the nut onto the stud backwards until the stud is pulled all the way through. Then remove the nut and reinstall the wheel. Make sure you replace the lug nuts as well. They are relatively cheap and will probably be damaged when hitting them with the hammer anyway.

Answer 3

Remove the wheel. Remove the dust cover. Have somebody step on the brake while you losen the large nut with a large socket and breaker bar. Then remove the brake assembly and pop the hub off.

Wow. nicely, it truly is a sportscar and they carry their fee a lot more beneficial efficient than different vehicles. Nissans from a lengthy time period lower back had very sturdy engines so human beings tended to push them more beneficial. i'd be more beneficial tense about different aspects that generally die w/ age. Thats solid mileage for a 13 twelve months old vehicle, so i'd commence off with each and every of the needed positioned on and tear. the fee is as a lot as you, i'd tell him/her its intense priced for a non-quick, yet in case you fairly opt for it. the actual undeniable reality that it truly is a convertible is preserving its fee up.
