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!
Save yourself the headache and put antisieze on the threads. And start the lug nuts by hand, too many times I've seen tire shops us the impact driver to start the lug nuts and usually the threads end up getting cross threaded.
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.
I gotta do a few of the ones on both my front wheels because discount tire did one too many ugga duggas but because I've removed them to do like oil changes and stuff, they told me sorry about ya. I just ordered a set of 10 and then new lugs and and am gonna replace all of the front wheel studs and lugs just to be safe
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!
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. ;)
@@rage_killer22 He's joking steel does not contract that much or cars would fall apart in winter. I'm sure you heard the joke about the RUclips Certified Mechanic!! But those who know little fall for it.
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

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.
thanks for the vid I just ordered a wheel stud installer to help me out
You can also use 5 or 6 washer with a nut...no need for special equipment.
Cheers.
Thank you very much

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!
Have you considered a thread chaser as an option? Rethreads the stud and you may not need to replace the stud. Just an fyi.
my thoughts exactly.
You skipped the the hardest part- how you got the wheel to stop spinning while you pulled in the new stud.
Did you ever explain how?
Put the car in park maybe?

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
Emgc brake
Thanks for the video Mike
Cheers
Can I have just that one corner on one jack stand to safely do this work?
I was always told using a hammer like you did will cause damage to the bearings a very expensive CV joint replacement in the near future?
How did u get it to stop spinning
Put the other tire on the ground, or put a bar between the other studs and hold it. Should work for ya.
Have you ever heard of a car running with the front wheel holding on only one stud ? Yeah...a miracle those last few miles/km I drove
👍🏻
Tip top interessante

Instead of the special tool use a bunch of washers
EVERY CAR IS DIFFERENT MOMO
This guy looks like and has the same name as my dad
Helpful tip - The new studs good in much easier if you stick them in the freezer for a couple hours before installation.
Wdym plz explain

All this information and not one mention of the year, make and model of the vehicle. So basically this video is worthless😏😒
I'm😅
Kill the music, it's very annoying.
