hard to replace wheel studs?

[woshiagni]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering how difficult it would be for a pretty adept do-it-yourselfer to swap out a stripped wheel stud. I have access to most common tools, but no air tools.

The rim shop that mounted my rims overtorqued the lugnuts (waaaaay past 150 lb-ft) and stripped it out.

Parts only cost like $2 at Autozone....
This is on a 99 w/ rear drums.

Thanks for the input.

I replaced the wheel studs on my 99 Camry and it was really easy. Toyota makes a little slot so you can remove the studs one at a time without removing the hub. All i used was a small hammer to knock them out the back. Try to use anti-seize on the threads as well, it helps keep the lug nuts in good shape.

this is how you do it. just like the guy said there is a place to pull it out. pull it out put the new one in find some washers and slid them on the just put the lug nut on and tightn it this will pull the stud in only thing is be carful you can mess up the lug nut

Thanks for the responses, I ended up taking it to a shop because they can do it a lot faster than I can.

Now, if only I could get the rim shop to admit they were the ones who messed it up in the first place...
