DIY - Front Stud Removal and Remplacement 2005 Corolla

This is a DIY for a 9th gen Corolla/Altis or any type of Toyota 

You will noticed Toyotas most likely have notches - If you do NOT see a notch usually the whole hub has to be replaced on certain vehicles - 

This is the stud part number - With a sledge hammer knock out the broken or all the studs if you decide to add extended lug nuts or replacing worn out studs

With the Auto Zone stud I had to modify the back end of the stud by grinding a round edge because the store was flat as you can see in the photo - You don't have to go all the way around as long as you round the edge that is closest to the bearing - If you choose not to grind the edge then go to Toyota for the OEM studs 

Some how I found this version of lug nut and used it to pull in the stud - You can use a over size but as well 

DO NOT PUT ANY OIL OR ANTI SEIZE when installing a stud - Line up the little mark lines - Make sure the stud is straight - Make sure the flat edge you grinded is facing bearing and you have clearance - Try spinning the hub and listen for noises

With your breaker bar or air gun pull in the stud TIGHTLY 

Make sure stud is completely flat - Then you can put it all back together

DIY - Replacing Broken Rear Wheel Studs 2000 Infiniti I30

This is a DIY on how to replace broken rear wheel studs on a Infiniti I30 

Once you have the car on jack stands safely then you start by removing the rear brake caliper and the bracket then the rotor will slide off .

Once you have the rotor off then with a heavy hammer you can punch out the studs . If one or more broke you might as well replace them all on the one side while you are there .

With a impact or a torque wrench make some kind of buffer so that when you pull in the wheel stud that you have the back flush . If you need a flash light use it and make sure you see no cracks cause when you put the wheel on you want to make sure you have a true tightness . DO NOT USE ANTI SEIZE - You can see I used over sized nuts to fill in the space .  

Once you have them secure you might as well clean your brake hardware and grease them if you need rear brakes now is a good time to replace them take advantage of this situation while you have your car apart .

Then put everything back .

Check in a week to make sure lug buts are tighten .

DIY - Front Extended Long Wheel Stud Replacement

This is a DIY and information is for my 93 Corolla , You can use the basic replacement on any type of vehicle even if just replacing them to OEM or extended but the stud numbers shown are for 1985 through 2011 four lug model Toyota model vehicles . These are used in circumstances when you want to add a spacer or your rims require extended studs because center cap gets popped out by the CV shaft tip . These are hard to find in auto part stores or even where they sell wheels I found mine on eBay .

First you remove the front brakes , Then the bracket then the front rotor .

This is a very easy and fast DIY ,  If you intend to use or keep your old studs use a BRASS hammer but in my case I used a regular heavy one because I will be throwing mine away . Do not use PB blaster or any type of rust product to remove these . They will pop out as long as you hit them hard .

It's best you remove one stud at a time cause your gonna need the other ones to keep the bearing from moving . You will see a slot where you can easily push out the old stud and slide in the new stud .

I used a big long screw driver to keep the bearing from spinning .

Make sure the back of the stud is flat to the bearing hub as you see in the bottom photo .

Once you have them all in place you can use like I did over size nuts that slide over the stud and a torque wrench and I stuck a extension to keep the bearing from spinning . Do not use a air gun cause you can spin the stud and once you spin the stud and round out the whole then you need another hub bearing . Even the instructions say use your hand to pull the stud through .

Once you have all four studs through and tight then you can put your caliper , bracket and front rotor back and add your spacer then put your wheel back on . Recheck after 500 miles your lug nuts to make sure they are still tight .

In some cases if your studs are to long you can cut them safely with out ruining the thread .
