Anyone here done this before? I have to get 3 replaced on my car and was just wondering how hard it is. Two are on he same wheel so I got three lugnuts holding one tire on. A shop in town is trying to charge me $30 a stud.

Re: Replacing wheel studs
iv never done it on a camaro before, but on other cars i have just took a hammer and smashed it out and replaced the new one by putting washers on the stud and using the lug nut to tighten it up, took about 5 minutes

Re: Replacing wheel studs
Like stated above, just take a hammer and pound out the old stud. Don't be afraid to whack it, you won't hurt anything. Then use the washers to pull the new stud into place.
I have not done this on an F-body, but have done it several times on other cars. If you cannot get the stud to fit behind the hub, use a cutoff wheel or hacksaw and cut off a little bit of the head. It will hold perfectly fine, and then you don't have to take the hub off. This is an easy fix.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone Stock
