Broken Wheel Stud Replacement

my 45+ yrs as a seasoned technician, change them all out , cause the others have taken abuse also . U might think it's good and if you have to wait to see the stud in a different shape to replace then u have no clue in the world , replace replace cause it does cause undue stress on other studs what's a few more dollars when it comes to safety..... to many slackers calling themselves mechanics well I'm a technician seen it all done it all ..... u should see what damage a wheel does when it flies off a vehicle at 75 or 80 mph ..... then you'll change your mind !!!

[@KINGOFFILMSDUDE]

I was going to suggest that too, seems a bit silly to not replace them all given its a 2min job.

[@cbmech2563]

I would have replaced them all but I would have put never- seez on the threads. As a heavy truck mechanic I've replaced a lot of studs with galled threads as well as broken ones.

[@straight-up-shots]

$7.50 might be too steep

[@brandonwilshire7837]

careful = make sure the head doesn't spin. he didn't mention it, but you can see him align the teeth & get it all snug before he hits it with the impact, thats key

[@benztech2262]

I have the same bearing stud installer but I used flat washers for years. Just stack at least 3 and put grease on them.

[@UnrealKinniki]

Same! I've got some old washers sitting around that I used to use, worked fine. Finally got a stud installer itself.

[@blakefindlay1870]

It’s crazy what having the right tools will do for a job. Can’t even imagine how many people didn’t have an air hammer to get them out that easily

[@bystander1489]

One smack of a hammer and they fly out

[@fusiondew]

You’re technically supposed to change the broken one, then the 2 studs on either side of the broken one. So on a 5 lug that amounts to all of them.

[@troywesterbur706]

To anyone that says not too use an impact has never turned a wrench for a living. Some days your hands will hurt from using them. So anything that helps like impacts padded handles. Work smarter not harder

[@Jamals13]

You gotta change all the studs my man. Its a known thing in service manual if one stud breaks you have to replace the two beside it at least but in this case that means all of them on that hub .

[@KanekiGhoulz]

Definitely agree but the customer probably didn’t want to pay for all that so the mechanic won’t pay out-of-pocket to do all of them even though they really should and they know it

[@Jamals13]

@@KanekiGhoulz if that was the case the mechanic should have refuse to repair it, like a lot of us do. I have refused to repair customers cars in the past we are held liable.

[@codewalters]

Thanks . Well done . Appreciate the explanation

[@Alashkid]

I didn't know it's changeable until yesterday when I broke one at the workshop 😅 and now I'm coming across this video today

[@Fatphobic.]

Pro tip, if you don’t have a wheel stud installer put grease on the hub and between a couple washers then use the lug nut backwards (flat side to hub if possible) to pull the stud in easier with damaging stud/nut

[@davidtayloromara]

Oh no shit. Thanks for that

[@driftsdragsdrives4938]

Anyone else jealous he can fit an impact in that particular vehicle. Try working on a German car. You’ll need a TRIPPLE square 3 extensions 2 universals and a therapist.

[@greenmountaingrower4680]

I've done these never used one of those wheel stud installers tho always just used an extra lug nut I got kicking around in my tool box.

[@geoffjefe2000]

The stud installer tool (I used the one by Lisle) worked great. Just some light machine oil on the stud and lug nut and a 24” long breaker bar was all it took to pull the new stud into place. No impact wrench needed. And that means I didn’t damage the lug nut that I’d used to pull the new stud into place.

[@PrajithKumara]

Nice. I like this mechanic job

[@Handleoriginal12]

Thanks for the video. My mechanic damaged one of my wheel studs without telling me and now I’m having to change it since he won’t accept responsibility for it.

[@dapper_gent]

I've used a jam nut method for this one. It works when you don't have air tools!!

[@rockytop4]

A bolt is a spring as long as its never over tourqed theyll last forever.. use a gd tourqe wrench cod

[@michaelchapin1976]

If 2 are broke, then you should have replaced them all because the others are likely just as bad.

[@jayking2225]

Perfect job right tools, but u did pick that hub cause it was an easy one. Sometimes, u have to cut the stud due to no clearance and shave down a flat spot on one side of the new stud for installation

[@mrcrowleyoz]

I do that shit by hand,,,you can also use the circle part of a key wrench to leverage the nut in order to pull the stud.

[@enzoperruccio]

Here's another tip: don't use an impact on wheel nuts. Torque them as hard as you can by hand using a regular lug wrench, use your foot and your body weight to loosen them. No more broken anything.

[@balothtower]

Unstructions unclear: lugs torqued to 300 lbs because I'm a fucking beast

[@tythekoenigseggenthusiast2573]

That air hammer knocked those studs out quick

[@winfriedkloeser3244]

For those using never seiz. Especially if on aluminum rims reduce torque by 10% and you will be fine.

[@nodak81]

I know I've had to do that job on one of my cars but I'll be damned if I can remember when or what car! Makes me feel old.

I’ve always pulsed a half inch air impact and never had a problem. For the past 20 years.

[@czierwo]

Lug nut installer 😂 When I stripped mine, I went to nut/bolt store got a bunch of washers big enough and a nut with same tread pitch. Ran me less than $1 to install the lug nut lol!

[@checo8187]

Use a 1” socket

[@StampIt2X]

How much bigger do you want the washer over the bolt

[@Peachykream]

those splines generally line up, in my experience. I have no idea If that's on every car, but I'd definitely be cautious of that.

[@alphaalchemy2736]

So helpful! Thank you

[@AnAZPatriot]

I never let any mechanic near my lugs and studs with an impact when putting them back together. You can take them off with an impact, but you better do it correctly when putting them on. I've been burned too many times.

[@spencerhermanson4639]

You can correctly put them on with an impact though.... you literally watched it happen correctly

[@AnAZPatriot]

@spencerhermanson4639 You can also screw them up. No chance of screwing them up if it's done the right way, not the fast way. As I've said, I've been burned by "technicians" doing it this fast way. If they want to do it this way, they don't get to touch my vehicles or my pocket book and I'll go somewhere else.

[@spencerhermanson4639]

@AnAZPatriot the thing is if we do screw it up, at least at the shop I work at, we have to cover it, and have a 15k mile 3 month warranty.... coming from experience once you've done it enough it's very hard to screw up, new techs should take the time to feel it out but once you've done hundreds...

[@lamontbest1693]

Serrated stud keeps the stud from turning. The force of drawing it down with the nut acts like a press and pulls it into place.

[@perchancethishandleiswens]

Okay, but seriously asking, what should one do to prevent this?

[@madunwerkstatt3093]

Torque lug nuts to spec, carefully read the manual if the manufacturer specifies to use lubricant or anti seize compound, or leave it dry.

[@oogie149]

Idk if cars are the same but on trucks with 10 studs if one stud is messed up you change the two to either side of the broken one and if you have 3 or more you do all 10

Though i agree that you can install the stud with your impact, you should definitely use a torque stick so you dont stretch the threads. Takes 2 seconds and it makes the studs last forever. Youre replacing these studs because people with that mentality keep over tightening the nuts with their impacts 😆

Why do people care about impact so much on wheels? My entire life and my father (ase Ford tech and Ford warranty rep) entire life that is how it's been done. Just don't over tighten. If you know your tools there is no issue, ftlbs is ftlbs come from an impact or ratchet\bar makes no difference. It's like saying a GMC will put prefrom a Chevy or last longer. Again I know setting 1 is 100ftlbs on my 1\2 impact. That will not hurt a wheel stud
