Step 1

Purchase wheel stud from any autoparts store..

Step 2

This is for the rear wheel, for this the car will need to be in neutral with the handbrake off so make sure its not going to roll away by chocking up wheels then jack up rear of car and put on jackstands.

Step 3

Remove wheel

Step 4

Remove caliper by undoing these 2 bolts

Step 5

Remove disc, if it doesn't come off easily find 2 bolts that fit into the holes here, then turn them until the disc pops out

Step 6

If you line the stud up with this gap then give it a good whack or 2 with a hammer it will pop out.

Step 7

Put new stud in, bit tricky but can be done

Step 8

Now you have to pull the stud through, its a tight fit, to do this I put a large nut behind the regular nut. Then tighten it until the stud pops into place

Step 9

Then put it back together, give caliper a clean with brakleen or some degreaser, put a quick coat of paint on the disc and its good as new

Thanks alot man!

I'm deff going to try this one out.

But quick question, is it possible to pull the new stud all the way out when your pulling it through the hole? Or is there something to stop you pulling it all the way out? like a grove or a stop on the end of the stud your putting in.

Yeah it will stop it has a flat end on it..

Awesome tutorial I thought I had to replace the entire hub but this is much easier and cheaper cheers.

When I pulled it apart I was thinking I may have to take the hub off too

Actually if you look in one of the pics i had taken the hubnut cap off, i went looking for a giant socket to fit but couldnt find one :D

How tight should the new stud be going in????

Mine was so tight i ended up stripping thread (while using the nut to pull it through) luckily i purchased an extra, so i went onto a different hole (i have 3 to replace) but that was the same so i stopped before i ruined that one too!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
