How do you Replace Wheel Studs on a Drum?

The wheel studs are the main components that hold the wheel tight to the drum. The lug nuts screw onto the front of the wheel studs. When the lug nuts are being tightened, the wheel will compress to the drum. The lug nuts put pressure on the front side of the wheel while the drum puts pressure on the back side of the wheel. Replace the wheel stud immediately if there is cracking or any other type of damage present.Step 1Park the vehicle in a safe location with plenty of working room.Step 2Loosen the lug nuts from the wheel requiring wheel stud replacement with a tire tool.Step 3Jack up the side of the vehicle you are working on with a floor jack and put a car stand under the proper jacking point. Lower the vehicle onto the stand and leave the jack in place.Step 4Unscrew the lug nuts and pull the wheel off. Place the wheel flat so that it does not roll away.Step 5Slide the pry bar between the brake caliper and the brake rotor. Pry the caliper back and forth until the brake caliper becomes loose enough to remove from the side of the rotor.Step 6Unscrew the two mounting bolts from the rear of the brake caliper with a 3/8-inch drive ratchet and a socket. Pull the caliper off of the rotor and hang it to the frame rail or to one of the steering components with a bungee strap.Step 7Tap the drum on the back side with a rubber mallet until the drum is loose. Then, pull the drum off with your hands. If the drum is stuck or very tight, rotate the drum as you are tapping the back side.Step 8Turn the wheel hub so that the wheel studs can be removed from the back side of the wheel hub plate. Put the safety glasses on and hit the wheel stud squarely in the center of the stud with a handheld sledgehammer until it comes out the back side of the hub.Step 9Continue turning the wheel hub and tapping the wheel studs with the sledge hammer until all of the wheels studs are out.Step 10Line the grooves of the new wheel stud up with the grooved holes on the back side of the wheel hub plate. Push the wheel stud into the grooved hole. Hit the head of the wheel stud with the sledgehammer until the head of the wheel stud is completely flush with the back side of the wheel hub plate.Step 11Repeat process with the remaining wheel studs.Step 12Reinstall the brake caliper and the wheel. Tighten both components. Jack the vehicle back up and remove the stand. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Finish tightening the lug nuts with the tire tool until each lug nut stops turning.

How do you remove the wheel covers from Buick Rendezvous?

You first need to loosen the plastic lug nut covers until they are no longer attached to the wheels lug nuts under the cover. After all five plastic lug nut covers are loosened completely from the lug nuts, you can gently pop the cover from the wheel. If the plastic lug nut covers have been damaged so they are not removable, you will need to get some needle nose pliers and basically break off the plastic lug nut covers. (The plastic lug nut covers keep the wheel cover attached to the wheel. The plastic lug nut covers snap into the wheel cover.) And then the game is on----finding replacement plastic lug nut covers and/or wheel covers......speaking from experience!!!


How do you remove the wheel cover on a Dodge Caravan?

Well, if your vehicle has wheel covers that are held on not only by the spikes that are on the cover, but also by the lug nuts, then you need to look at the cover/cap and see which lug nuts you need to take off in order to get the cap off the rim. alot of the newer vehicles are making the cover/cap so that the lug nuts are helping to hold the cover on the rim and also helps to keep people from stealing the cap. You should only have to take about 2 lugs off in order to get the cover off.

How do you change the wheel cover in 1999 Ford contour SE?

I belive on Contours they just pop off. Use a screw driver to pry it from the rim. Some cars, use the lug nuts to help hold on the wheel cover. So, before you pry. Look to see if your lug nuts are exposed.(Don't confuse this with fake molded on lug nuts) Then, see if it looks like the wheel cover is between the lug nuts and rim. If not, pry them off. If the cover looks like its held on by the lug nuts you'll have to remove them. You'll have to jack up the car to do this. Just remember to "break" loose the lug nuts before you jack up the car.
