I broke one of my studs in half while removing my lugs today. Just wanted to know how much this is gonna cost me and what parts are needed? thx

 

$10-20. that's at a regular repair shop- not a dealership, who knows what it would cost there? $75?

 

do they just weld on a new stud?

 

wheel & brake comes off, rotor taken off, old stud removed, new stud put in and secured, reassemble

 

exactly. i've replaced 3 of my studs last month. 1 broke, and 2 just didn't look like the others.

take off wheel
remove 3 bolts holding brembo caliper onto rotor
remove rotor
whichever stud needs to be removed should be in the 10 o'clock position and just bang out the stud.
put new stud in then use a press to install. (something like a gear puller)


i purchased new studs at the dealer for under a $1 each.

 

yes...do it yourself or you'll regret it...

i paid Firestone almost $80 to replace two studs on one wheel on my drum brake Corolla. after seeing them do it, i slapped myself upside the head for not doing it myself. took them 15 minutes to do everything.

do like sen jen said...it ain;t hard to remove the calipers...the two bolts might be a biatch to get off, but it's doable.

after that, my rotors came off pretty easy (for my BBK install).

if you have access to an impact wrench, just stick the stud back in from behind, place a nut on the stud and tighten it with the impact wrench. this should pull your stud through and have it secure. make sure you check the back of the stud to ensure it is completely flush and secure.

to remove your old stud, just hammer it out.

 

sweet, thanks a lot guys.

 

if you have a spare lug and a long spacer, you can use that to pull the new stud
into the hub. not sure about the G, but usually it doesn't take that much
force to get the stud back into the hub.

why I recommend a spare lug is because when you tread the lug over
the spacer, the tapering on the lug could get damaged when it binds
with the spacer when it pulls the new stud into the hub.

the lug is a 12x1.25

 

I used a spare lug and some washers to pull mine through... No need for an impact wrench, although it would be faster... For one stud though, you'd only save like a minute or so... I've changed my studs a few times and I'd have to say it takes longer to jack up the car and remove the wheels, than for the actual replacing of the studs...
