I’ve been asked to make this video for some time and I was just waiting for a vehicle to come in that needed new studs. Well, not only did I get one in that needed a new stud, but it needed 2 studs. This doubles our fun for this video. The principal was the same for both studs. Some of you might not agree with this method and that’s OK. But I can say that I’ve done it this way for many years and have not had one come back yet for an issue. However, if you feel you don’t want to employ this method, you can remove the axle nut, slide hammer the hub out of the bearing, replace the stud on the bench, press the hub back into the bearing, and hope your bearing doesn’t go bad as a result of separating it. Either way works. Here’s some links to some tools you might find useful that were mentioned in the video.

Um 58. Never had a broken stud. Dont over tighten and dont tighten with air tools.
I did mine on a malibu maxx work great!!
Don't want to damage the threads then bashes the threads int everything.
Man, your are a genius…
“I had sex I mean success “ bahahahaha
not everyone has an air hammer for the part where u push it in show us both methods
Really,???..
Easy way to remove old stuck bolt/nut?
"the easy way" proceeds to use $1000s in tools.
Best advice is take the drive shaft out or just use a hammer and go to town
I broke 2 studs on my boat trailer, then I removed the hub, heated around the hole, and pounded out the stud.
I should have seen this before all that.
Thanks
why not cut the screw, its a lot easier, then pound it
I’m sure most people know this but use washers to take up the space in the stud 3 washers or more if you want put the lug nut tighten it by hand or impact it’s up to you the lug nut will bottom out on the washers and then draw the stud in once it’s all the way in the lug nut will stop spinning zap it off take the washers and do the same process until finished out the rims back on tighten torque and good to go if you don’t have washers you can use a nut to act as washer but I suggest washers since they are flat
Not 1 ad thx
Not appropriate for professional work. Absolutely appropriate for DIY! Thanks for the video!
Whats the tool u used with the air compressor at 3:09.
It looks like a bigger version of a dremel!!
I'd much prefer that than an angle grinder 😨
I c u listed it 😅 in the description…..thank you.
How to damage your rotor
Thanks for the video. After watching it, I was expecting the worst on my 2010 Honda civic. Luckily, they designed it with a convenient hole in the shield to pop the old one out and put the new one in without having to grind or cut anything.
Thankfully I've not had to deal with engineering this bad regarding wheel studs. But once the splines are aligned and it's close to being fully seated, I just torque it down when I put the wheel on.
Stay Dirty & Studly! 😄
bruh you could've threaded the holes and used lugs!
Did this today to my 7th gen ex front passenger side. If I break another one on that same side I already have a neat section cut out too. Thanks Eric
What a hack job! LOL
at least he used half his ass. this is a hack job. find a better tech. or maybe a tech. if this was my shop, i'd fire him. do the whole job or don't do it at all. 30 years turning wreches and this won't do!
If you would've removed that folded over piece to begin with you probably wouldn't have "bugger'd" up your threads.
Thank I will try tomorrow great idea
I'm definitely buying a air hammer
I believe that's called Jimmy rigging. And the parts lose integrity.
Hell yeah thanks a lot Eric, we all obviously know this isn’t the best thing to do. But cost effective and saves 2 hours labour minimum
Great alternative 👍 I'll try to stay studly 🙃
He did , he just did make it through with the stud . (Beats it like it stole something)
HELL NO….. LAZY, SLOPPY, UGLY, ABUSE…..
If he got customer approval than so be it.
