How To Easily Replace Your Wheel Studs

In this video, I will show you how to change a front wheel stud on a 2007 Saturn Sky. It can also be done on the Pontiac Solstice as well. It's a fairly easy fix without having to remove the hubs.

Mike, I just found your video and love it. I've seen so many folks destroying dust shields trying to get studs out. I got pretty good at these as the local tire shop would massively overtorque the nuts and stretch the threads. That spacer tool was pretty good (got to love Lisle tools!) for acorn nuts (an alternate solution is to use standard steel lug nuts and run them down all the way). Great job!

[@Soul666Snatcher]

Helpful tip - The new studs good in much easier if you stick them in the freezer for a couple hours before installation.

[@darylhaack7752]

Thanks for the video Mike
Cheers

[@jamesortiz1]

thanks for the vid I just ordered a wheel stud installer to help me out

[@mannyjunior4747]

How you jump from doing it to it being finished. I would have liked to have seen that part. That’s where I’m struggling at.

[@titolongo1]

You can also use 5 or 6 washer with a nut...no need for special equipment.
Cheers.

[@SuperMacGuy]

It’s ok to use an impact wrench on the lug nuts, but of course it has to not be cross threaded to start. Also I immediately changed all my studs to ARP longer studs, and also use 4th gen Firebird lug nuts as they have the hole down the center and fit over any long stud and have more threads to engage on the stud. The ARP studs are “Miata rear”, 100-7720.

6:24 I really like the stud tool. Those work great. They actually have a thrust bearing to keep things from binding. Thanks for sharing Mike!

[@wolfmccarron]

Damn, Mike been following you for a while. I'm suprised as hell that you didn't know about this till now? I learned about it like 10 years ago on the SkyRoadster forums. When I was getting new tires on and it was on the rack I had the tire shop put the Loctite on everything as well. Cheers. ;)

[@davideferramosca-wt5vf]

Tip top interessante

[@WASD282]

Instead of the special tool use a bunch of washers

[@Ikoleb]

👍🏻

[@rickdesrosiers186]

Have you considered a thread chaser as an option? Rethreads the stud and you may not need to replace the stud. Just an fyi.

[@rorromorro3839]

my thoughts exactly.

[@fml5910]

Mine too.@@rorromorro3839

[@fml5910]

I agree.

[@cra2cra226]

You skipped the the hardest part- how you got the wheel to stop spinning while you pulled in the new stud.

[@tonyginza8219]

Did you ever explain how?

[@Mr47Coolman]

Put the car in park maybe?

[@jkline398]

It was a free spinning wheel not on an axle. I've got to do this on my trailer after my teen son picked up my sledge and practiced by hitting at a lug nut?!? Kids these days lol. But now I'm looking up the thread chaser video, thanks comments!

[@alexbrady2208]

I got a small pry bar and stuck through the stud hole and their was a spot that the pry bar sat in to where the hub didn't move. Hope this helps

[@Soul666Snatcher]

Emgc brake

[@johnhayes3314]

And another video where the life of someone’s wheel bearings just got slammed into oblivion. Wheel studs should be PRESSED out. And anti-seize will help keep all this from happening

[@donaldduck6385]

I'm😅
