Does anyone no if the process of replacing your studs is difficult.If not How do you do this?Do you need any special tools?
Thanks

 

I have my wife convinced that HER stud cannot be replaced. So far, so good!

Assume you are talking about wheel studs. We used to use two nuts, tightened against each other if the stud was threadded in. Some are pressed in, and sometimes, you can remove them from the back side of the hub. Hopefully, one of the Infiniti techs will let us know.

 

Yes, wheel studs Thanks.

sorry to not contribute to this thread, but could not resist.

 

The bolts for the brake caliper to the suspension upright are 22mm
The bolts for brake caliper itself are 14mm


I just did mine in the front.

This is how I did it.

Remove brake caliper from suspension arm

Remove disk brake (left disk needed a lot of umm encourgement it was sort of rust seized on)

Hammer out oem studs

My 10mm studs would not go into the oem holes from behind because of their greater length and because of the dust sheild. I noticed a couple of spots where I could grind away on the dust sheild and make the clearance I needed so I did.

With the 5 studs just sitting in the hub I put the disk brake on temporarely (pain because the studs kept on wanting to push back). Then I put on spacer on and used tightened lug nuts on to pull the new studs into the back of the hub. Another way to do this would be to use open ended lug nuts so you don't have to fuss with putting the disk brake on to pull the studs into the hub.

Reassemble and repeat on the other side.

 

Thanks...

 

Are the rotors sposed to shake a little.. Are they attached to anything??

 

This is not the G, but it should be too much different.

Bumping up an old thread. I changed the brake pads this morning on my wife's G only to find out that the goobers at the tire shop cross threaded one of the lugnuts (which has since liberated itself from the stud altogether for a life of freedom on the open road, or beside it anyway) and totally ruined the threads.

I pulled the brake caliper mouning braket off, and tried to remove the rotor, but I guess I didn't use enough persuasion. I was not sure if there was something else retaining the rotor to the hub, so I didn't want to force it.

Has anyone else here removed a stud using the BFH approach?

 

Just an update, I got a new stud at the local Nissan dealer (part # 43222-70T00, about $4 each) Whacked the old one out with one good shot from a 3 lb. hammer and pulled in the other with an open nut from the hardware store. The rotor came loose with one tap from a rubber mallet.

 

whats a stud?

 

This might help.
