well i guess the last person who put on my front drivers side wheel either over torque or cross treaded the lug nuts and now i need 2 new wheels studs because they snaped in half. now i have to take off the whole hub assembly and has a shop press in a new wheels bearing so i can replace them. but i guess im going to replace the front crankshaft seal as well since that has a small oil leak. now i just need to wait on my honda repair manual to ship!

My integra has the same problem, on both front wheels! the guy before me tried putting the wrong offset wheels on and decided to completly break off,flush, one stud on each side. I been drove on them fine. But you again you have 2, id be iffy. How hard are those puppies to pop outand put new ones in?

Well, the offset of a wheel doesn't matter, when it comes to the studs. It's a measure of distance from the hub of the wheel to the center of the entire wheel width.

The studs aren't terribly hard to remove, but it does take some gentle coaxing with a hand-sledge.

than what to put the new ones in just pound them in and the wheels nuts will pull em tight? they arnt welded or anything in?

They're usually pressed in.

but they're pressed in from the back side. You need to take the hub off because there isnt enough room to get the new ones back in. Thats why everyone bitches so much about breaking them. its 75 cents for a stud, and 75 bucks to get it in.

NTB charges $5/stud for pressing in i believe...

yea i already have the replacement studs and nuts and all that. the problem is you have replace the wheel bearing anytime you take off the front hub assembly. the studs are easy as anything to pound out it just the hub it right behind them soo i just need an guy who has a press and im set but it just so happened the same week i was going to start my "fixing every gasket on the timing side of the engine" project. i was thinking since ill have to car on stands an out of comission for a week or so im gonna get some tein S. tech's but **** happens

P.S.
lucky for me we have a spare car at the moment soo its all good

well i finaly got the fron hub assembly off what a biotch that was and to press the bearing out, it took a hammer a deep well socket 3 guys holding it and well a little TLC. and im having the good people in at Static x motorsports press the new bearing back in for me.
