Mike, I just found your video and love it. I've seen so many folks destroying dust shields trying to get studs out. I got pretty good at these as the local tire shop would massively overtorque the nuts and stretch the threads. That spacer tool was pretty good (got to love Lisle tools!) for acorn nuts (an alternate solution is to use standard steel lug nuts and run them down all the way). Great job!

How you jump from doing it to it being finished. I would have liked to have seen that part. That’s where I’m struggling at.

Save yourself the headache and put antisieze on the threads. And start the lug nuts by hand, too many times I've seen tire shops us the impact driver to start the lug nuts and usually the threads end up getting cross threaded.

6:24 I really like the stud tool. Those work great. They actually have a thrust bearing to keep things from binding. Thanks for sharing Mike!

Have you considered a thread chaser as an option? Rethreads the stud and you may not need to replace the stud. Just an fyi.

I gotta do a few of the ones on both my front wheels because discount tire did one too many ugga duggas but because I've removed them to do like oil changes and stuff, they told me sorry about ya. I just ordered a set of 10 and then new lugs and and am gonna replace all of the front wheel studs and lugs just to be safe

You skipped the the hardest part- how you got the wheel to stop spinning while you pulled in the new stud.

It was a free spinning wheel not on an axle. I've got to do this on my trailer after my teen son picked up my sledge and practiced by hitting at a lug nut?!? Kids these days lol. But now I'm looking up the thread chaser video, thanks comments!

I got a small pry bar and stuck through the stud hole and their was a spot that the pry bar sat in to where the hub didn't move. Hope this helps

You can also use 5 or 6 washer with a nut...no need for special equipment. Cheers.

It’s ok to use an impact wrench on the lug nuts, but of course it has to not be cross threaded to start. Also I immediately changed all my studs to ARP longer studs, and also use 4th gen Firebird lug nuts as they have the hole down the center and fit over any long stud and have more threads to engage on the stud. The ARP studs are “Miata rear”, 100-7720.

I was always told using a hammer like you did will cause damage to the bearings a very expensive CV joint replacement in the near future?

Put the other tire on the ground, or put a bar between the other studs and hold it. Should work for ya.

Have you ever heard of a car running with the front wheel holding on only one stud ? Yeah...a miracle those last few miles/km I drove

Damn, Mike been following you for a while. I'm suprised as hell that you didn't know about this till now? I learned about it like 10 years ago on the SkyRoadster forums. When I was getting new tires on and it was on the rack I had the tire shop put the Loctite on everything as well. Cheers. ;)
