How do you replace front wheel stud from a 1999 Honda civic?

Answer 1

1. first take the wheel off so you can see the the caliper and the rotor. make sure the car is on stands and not just waving around on a jack.

2. look behind the caliper and use your finger to locate, a pair of bolts behind the caliper... they will be holding the caliper into place on the suface of the rotor, by a simple look and feel you can see these, they should take a 17mm socket undo them and remove the bolts. at this stage you should see the the caliper become loose.

3. remove the caliper by pulling it up and away from the rotor

4. now you can see the rotor remove this it will simply slide away.

5. this will leave the hub exposed and the studs.. you will see that they are wedged into the hub

6. remove the stud/s by hitting them / it with a hammer be carful to not damage the other studs if you just replacing one.

7. there is one spot where the will be a gap and you will be able to get the stud in behind the hub and have a little bit of room, rotate the hub to there, make sure the car is out of gear or this will be very difficult :)

8 once the stud is in take something you can use as a spacer like a larger then the stud nut. for example and then put one of the wheel nuts on and tighten slightly

9. use a hammer and drive the back of the stud home, and slowly tighten the wheel nut as you go.

10. once this is done your finished put all the bits back together in the oppersite order and replace the wheel.
