Hi y'all,

General question:
How difficult is it to change a front wheel stud on a Camry? (I believe it's 1998 model)

Thanks

To my knowledge they're regular bolts.

So, you can easily punch them out from the backside?

Other way; drive them in from the front side. Use a hammer. To install the new one, just use a lug nut to suck it into place.

They're not just regular bolts. They have a spline under their head which press fits into a hole in the hub. Any auto parts store should have them. If you can, take an old one with you to make sure the new one matches in length & thread size. For some reason they seem to have a hard time getting it right the first time. That's been my experience anyways.

Ok, thank you for the information. I wanted to know if it was a pain in the ass like it is in my ABS equipped Celica - the front wheel bearings have to come out. I'm glad it's not designed the same way!
