Any promo codes?

[@billtaglia2865]

You were so clear in your explanation that I swear I could perform that job. Then again, I watched a show showing open heart bypass surgery and thought I could perform that, too.

[@harisjaved1379]

It’s great to learn how to do this. I changed one of my wheel studs 2 days ago since it broke. I think changing the stud is far easier than trying to fix the damage 🧐

[@randykish8242]

Great video. Another tip if you don’t have that handy little triangle file to file the threads... I have used a small hacksaw blade gently which fits in nicely.

[@reno5948]

It’s great that you showed us how to repair the studs, but for a few dollars for 2 new studs, I would personally replace them not repair. Since everything is already open anyway. Thanks for the great video.

[@kevinpazos9846]

I used your video to replace all 4 brakes on my 2018 silverado yesterday, everything went smoothly. Now I'm here because I figured out the last guy who replaced my tires cross threaded a lug nut on my rear wheel lol.

[@blainekoch5018]

Good job. I’ve replaced tons of these but always cool to see someone else do it.

[@philipwebb960]

I won't say why, but a triangle file is one of the first tools I ever bought.

[@cardo1111]

Always quality usable content 👍🏽

[@rchioffe]

This channel has been really helpful with my fj cruiser. 👍

[@0blivioniox864]

Thanks Len as always 👍👍 You da man 😁

[@F15BOYOBOY]

Awesome video don’t expect any less from y’all. I haven’t had these problems but great video!! Len you’re also very personable which is great!! Keep up the amazing videos.

[@dant3113]

Bro thanks for the tips you're awesome. my neighbors all came out after 30 min of banging on my rusted wheels

[@downhilltwofour0082]

Excellent video!

[@catherinefisher624]

Very cool the way you re-threaded that first one! I would've replaced the one that came loose since it's only a couple of bucks for a new lug bolt and the old one was already out, lol. Why were the lugs so green? What kind of rust was that?

[@christopherrichards8494]

Awesome video. Probably the best one on your channel. Got me out of a jam. ✌️

[@kennyswenson1653]

Nice job lenny

[@deeteemusic9289]

4 out of 6 studs snapped off my ‘11 F150 while I was in the bush last night, had to leave it out there, heading out soon to do this

[@barrymichaels2663]

Just don't tell the customer 🤣

[@donegal2010able]

Very informative, more funny stuff please, the one in white car where he drove over the ramp and wheel came off had me laughing, I really enjoy the video's.

[@anau-g9r]

you are a good technician

[@Andrew-rb4gs]

Show us how to remove the stuck axle out of the hub please. Up north we have lots of rust. Any tips would be appreciated. Love the videos.

[@That_one_guy831]

Heat, hammer and pb blaster lol

[@abdulellahalmutairi6196]

What about Replace wheel studs with aftermarket or OEM one is it safe to do so?

[@marcsongaudin8429]

You guys are great

[@UpcycleEngineer]

You are a life saver

[@jessieharris1676]

Was that bearing hub wobbling like a bad bearing? New assembly comes with studs!!! Work smart!!!

[@erval9]

That's awesome! Thought it was unfixable or had to replace the whole wheel hub! Glad to see that I'm not the only idiot who banged the sh*t out a stud lol

[@idahospyder1620]

You always do a great job

[@hasithagunasekara2139]

Good job.

[@Littles13579]

I just don't understand what you were saying about the spacer. What can I use in between the lug nut and the hub when installing the new stud? Can I use any nut?

[@davidb7180]

It's only that easy to change a stud when it actually has the clearance to come all the way out. Sometimes it's like.......No matter how you spin the hub, how much you try to push that stud to one side or the other.... the stud just doesn't have the room to come ALL the way out. Sure you could get it partly out and then cut it with a grinder. But then reality hits. How the hell do you get the new one in??? There are many vehicles where the clearance for the studs to go into/out of the hub is short by 1/2 inch or so. Then you got to take the damn axle out. And if you are really lucky, you have to take the damn ball joint out to get to that one screw that's behind there so you can finally get the damn hub off. Then, you have to take the damn hub apart. And if you don't have a press, you are screwed. Then you gotta buy a new hub. Moral of the story: Do NOT screw up you studs!

[@joseloya287]

Interesting 💯

[@wadeohms714]

Using the axle nut is genius

[@rob3534]

Had that second stud happen (loose inside the wheel hub) with the wheel still on. Worst case scenario. It spun freely not allowing the lug to come off since there was no access to the rear of the stud, so I could not stop the lug nut and the lug stud from spinning together in tangent. Horrible situation

[@eldude831]

How about lug studs that are missing treads at the tip?

[@stevestudley4060]

You are say "Red thread locker" but it looks like red grease. What do you recommend.

[@ConceptXX]

Looks like red thread locker

[@jeffpacetti5800]

Didn’t show how to remove the bolt. Are they universal? If not, how do you know what type to replace with?

[@Whitetooth1030]

I wa changing my brakes and rotors and noticed one my wheel nuts is shorter than others. So I decided to replace it and stopped after hammering for 3 mins 😂😂 now I’m watching this video looking for motivation

[@gspa072]

Great video.

[@iindium49]

I think the lug bolts I bought are too big. Can I just force it?

[@kentpowell5427]

thanks

[@DaveSomething]

this is what happens if you use a BFH when you need a MFH...

[@ilovemydad1416]

??

[@Sethhaun78]

You said damage the bearing ?where is a bearing at can't see one. On there or my truck

[@mg8718]

This will not work for the Honda Fit because theres no clearance to get those studs out. The entire steering knuckle must be removed with a press and a new hub and bearing installed. A big job indeed.

[@rotarythread]

I think the only issue with that tool is the cost lol! Btw, we have a tool that does it better, let me know if you want to test it out!

[@mynameismudd3134]

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. If I take out an old stud, it will get replaced by a new one.

[@hotboxmyelevator]

I’m going to try to replace my lug studs tomorrow, I’m running on 2 and my wheel is about to fall off lol geo metro

[@39knights]

Would love to see a video about the stupid European lugless version and what can be done when the threaded lug-hole becomes stripped or un-useable. Only solution I know of is to replace the wheel bearing.

[@ryans6449]

Hack saw blade will work

[@crowvelle]

BONK!

[@fjpv7482]

no hay nada que unos buenos vergazos no arreglen

[@mikecar_pay_de_umm_priemiu5054]

Yeah not happy at all you created and never fixed the problem. The bent one , you took it to the wire wheel and cleaned it up!? That's not going to fix the Bend or the groves you never showed how you fixed the bend in it!!!??.?? Which happens to be my problem at the moment and what I thought this video was about

[@teej3126]

youre clearly suffering from brain damage the stud he removed was straight and was reusable as he mentioned in the video. He purposely bent a stud as an example to visually show when you need to buy a new stud if your stud is bent it cant be fixed (safely at least) only replaced. Must take you an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes

[@ConceptXX]

The fix is to replace it friendo

[@funkmon]

Great video
