Replace broken striped studs on rear wheels

Replacing studs and lug nuts on rear drum breaks

[@kenglong]

Never ever start a lug nut with an impact wrench. Always start it by hand to avoid cross threading then use the impact to snug it up.

[@sonsonfrancois9578]

Good thing,good thing,correct 100%.

[@joereacts3906]

Wish the tire shops would follow this rule

[@baivsasil8086]

This is my mistake thats why im here😭😭 any tips how to replace rear wheel studs guys???😭😭

[@landonlee2240]

Just did that today lmao

[@bash8387]

what if you don’t have a impact wrench

[@hischyoudontneedtoknow2896]

Thank you much, snapped a stud using a breaker bar, was not sure of the best way to do so

[@roytinkler2524]

thanks a million for this. i tried fitting extended studs and had absolutely no idea bashing the studs back with a hammer was the way...in the end i gave it up as a job for later on...thanks again!

[@keithmerryman4402]

Exactly what I needed to see! Thank you.

[@brucewmclaughlin9072]

Ok so now I have an idea of what is required if you do not have all the shop tools that some of the commentators are crowing about. As with any video showing how to take anything off , yes it would be nice to fix everything in one shot , but I came here to see a bolt replaced not the shoes and not the wheel cylinder. Good video.

[@jonathanpascual5353]

Some much people whining about not putting a new cylinder or new shoes, did they not read the title? That’s not the focus of the damn video!

[@jorgecano9678]

Thank you I did that job for free for a friend he did not want to spend the money but I wanted to make my first youtube vid thanks man

[@NobodyCares6996]

I was really hoping I didn't have to do a whole lot of work just to replace a lug. Thank you.

[@user-jh1lq8ze6z]

It was relatively easy. To get them back in I put the bolt on backwards and wedged a pickle fork between it and the hub. Got enough bite that I could wrench it tight and pull the stud all the way through. Took about 30 minutes for three of em.

[@jorgecano9678]

I did the job for a friend for free just to make the video to show you how to replace the studs because I know how hard the drums are to take of but if you are going to be doing this kind of work there are a lot of things to look out for you can take pictures or ask someone that has some knowledge I just uploaded it because my first drum brakes were a nightmare to take off

[@jimgrajeda224]

Used your video to give myself confidence cuz the fronts took me a long time in march

[@RerrardedRedneck73]

Ok so if i just watched this right. All you have to do is hammer and impact the piss out of it and boom new studs. This might be my new favorite repair when I'm pissed off at my jeep

[@kansascowboy5721]

Very helpful, broke one off on my 99 Dodge 👍🏻

[@zackklassen4237]

Highly likely you remember or even still have the acc. But did you take your hole drum break apart or did you keep it on like in the video

[@tigerciliano4447]

Damn that one was on there good wasn't it mine is a cheap 96 Cherokee and it came out really smooth the brakes are still good I hid it in the center are doing that helps

[@mewhy4018]

ty for showing the easy way to do this job.......ttfn

[@MsPokemonsoulsilver]

you open up a drum to do this and dont even bother to spray a little brake clean in there?

[@user-nl9ne5gk6k]

...or while you're in there, why not replace those worn down rear SHOES (not pads)?, or the worn out hardware (SPRINGS)?, or inspect and cut if nesc., or replace the drums if nesc.?, or replace the old crusty wheel cylinders? or bleed 'em out? And why bash the hell out of those busted studs and possibly bust, chip or fuck up something else that you didn't mean to hit? If they're stuck on from rust that bad, just soak an old rag with some gas, than place the rag over the front and back of the studs for an hour or so, the gas will eat off the rust better than any "liquid wrench" would and the studs do pop out much easier.

[@jkeimel354]

Yes a little brake clean and lubes in there would have helped while there - good video otherwise

[@Mdnghtnoir]

@@user-nl9ne5gk6k bro shut tf up. This is exactly how they would do it at any shop. He did a great job.

[@chrishuhn5728]

Great video thanks bro keep up the good work

[@slaybynaiomi6153]

To make your rotor spin to you have to lift both tires?

[@Addemm212]

Yes

[@lacityartproject1720]

Thanks, made my life easier!

[@darkdrop1359]

How many ohms is the gun he's using

[@ronaldodeodono6004]

Hi, great video I have a Ford Van E250 2001 it is 8 lugs and I wanted to convert it to 5 lugs can you tell me if this is possible the parts of the E 150 5 lugs fit my Vam?

[@midnightraiin4035]

Ronaldo Deodono i think it has 8 because of heavier suspension rating , so be careful with that, especially if you load her up

[@lenniesatterlee3685]

Thanks will. Try this now.

[@Pabkojdim]

Where did you place your jack stand?

[@12v]

On my dodge sportsman, manual calls for them to be placed in the small space between the U bolts on both sides

[@mariomoreno9954]

those knocks make marks on hub bearings...

[@mattweber5242]

3 out of 5 lugs that's not too bad lol

[@kenjackson2723]

Thats where I am today. Lol

[@villageidiot9867]

That's where I'll be next time I have to take that tire off. One broke previously but as I was taking it off I could tell if I kept going 2 more were going to break if I went all the way. Tightened them back up carefully till I get new studs and nuts.

[@martystevens3969]

One day my car's LR wheel skidded at a stop sign. The wheel cylinder froze! That taught me to replace them rather than have body damage on my car and theirs! A stupid wheel cylinder isn't worth a lawsuit for bodily harm and medical bills. You can also have body damage on your car! So, replace the wheel cylinders. It's alot cheaper!!

[@bishop5166]

Marty Stevens. You're a damn lie. Your cylinder didn't freeze. That bitch will leak before it freeze. And if it did freeze up, that was another issue with your brake system.

[@reidhinesrhec6270]

Helped a lot thanks🤘🏻

[@tigerciliano4447]

I don't have one of those are Impact Guns I got to do it by hand

[@villageidiot9867]

If mine is this easy I'm set. Unfortunately it never seems to go that way.

[@donkruse]

Thank you!

[@garyv2196]

Man dude, you don't even put ant grease on the stud first?

[@josephwezran5273]

This show nothing about loosening the starwheels should the drum have worn barrel shaped

[@Friday_42]

What size is that nut to put on the stud?

[@discmotoslots]

he used one of the lug-nuts

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

YIKES!! You could have easily wrecked your brand new lugs/studs that way! NEVER, EVER, EVER start a nut on ANYTHING with your impact! Start it by HAND or you could very easily ruin the threads on your brand new bolt/stud/lug, whichever it is that has threads on it.

[@alj1083]

thanks for the video. very informative!

[@martystevens3969]

There's a wheel cylinder clamp that pushes the wheel cylinder spring in. Remove the master cylinder cap. A Mityvac helps bleed the brakes. There are brake bleeder wrenches for disc and drum brakes. Brake spring return pliers helps R & R the return springs. Get the right hold-down spring pliers. Disc caliper piston depressor pushes the piston in to help install the caliper. It can also locate sticking calipers. Get pad shims if needed. Put pad grease on the pad to eliminate squeaking.

[@user-nl9ne5gk6k]

Wow, you know some very basic brake knowledge, good for you... too bad ya can't spell "SQUEAKING"! LOL

[@martystevens3969]

NYMetal Guy I just simply misspelled it. My dictionary wasn't working. I had my mine on other things. Thanks for pointing it out! I didn't realize I misspelled it. A pad depressor can help to push the piston in to replace pads. If you have to use force, it's sticking. Use pad grease to prevent chirping noise.

[@STAY_MOTIVATED_909]

@@martystevens3969 Thanks for the info just ignore the idiots.

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

I would suggest you have someone else proofread what you write, because your spelling makes some things difficult to read. Luckily, most of this is visual. Still... I kept having to pause it to figure out what you meant.

[@dustinketelhut6046]

Mines 3/5 but only one side remain

[@bmponder1]

Why in the heck did you not replace that cylinder and shoes while you had that apart?

[@sanity8008]

Probably for the same reason im not gunna... Im broke muh fucka 🤑

[@martystevens3969]

The shoes are thin. Replace the wheel cylinders and springs.

[@user-nl9ne5gk6k]

Thin shoes should be replaced, sure, but just the shoes. If a wheel cylinder isn't very old, stuck/frozen or leaking, why replace it? No real good reason to, but they are cheap enough to replace every 4 or 5 years or so, since they are NOT meant to last forever. The brake springs only need replacing if they are really worn, weak and/or easy to stretch out, or are really rusted up and won't stretch out. I normally only change springs at every other rear shoe change, unless the springs are in bad shape. GM rear brake spring kits are usually $10-$15 at most parts suppliers, each kit has springs for BOTH sides, so ya won't need two spring replacement kits. One thing most amateur's and non-mechanics never know, or realize, is that brake fluid IS an oil and is made with an ability to withstand high temps, which it needs to do, since brake parts can reach temps over well over 900f. As the fluid ages it loses it's "viscosity" and breaks down, same as motor oil does, and can lead to spongy brakes or even brake failure and should be pumped out and replaced with new fluid every two to three years. I know, you're saying' "But they didn't ever tell me that I need to do that when I bought my car, so why should I!" Well, Of course they didn't tell you, they WANT your entire braking system to wear down and fall apart!, That way shops, especially dealer service centers CAN overcharge you more for more parts and more labor! One other thing with front brakes; any and all rubber brake lines (hoses) should be changed about every 4 or 5 years. They do dry rot and/or wear down and begin to leak through or expand/inflate when you step on the brakes, which leaves you with less stopping pressure, which is not a good thing. I hate it whenever I open someones master cylinder reservoir up and it's filled with old, dirty, contaminated, burnt, black brake fluid and sludge, cause that means more work for me and more labor charge for you! Also, you should NEVER have to ADD ANY brake fluid, ever! As long your braking system has not had any leaks or been opened there is no reason to ever add any!, It does NOT and can not evaporate, it's oil, NOT water. If your brake fluid is low, that is only because your brakes have worn down, so the level went down. When you replace your pads or shoes and/or rotors and drums, the level will be full again. Keep that fluid clean and fresh and your brakes will help you stop more reliably.

[@martystevens3969]

NYMetal Guy On both my cars, the LR wheel cylinders were frozen! I had a normal pedal but the wheel cylinders were frozen. The pistons were stuck in so the pedal was normal. The brakes didn't drag. Always replace the shoes, wheel cylinders, and springs every brake job for security that everything is normal. Bleed the brakes replacing the fluid. While there, replace the master cylinder while the lines are open. Springs stretch and cause drag. A pad depressor pushes the piston in. If you have to use force, it's sticking. They should just slide in easy. Check the drums for the lip which means wear. Same with rotors. Lisle has a stud tool to easily replace studs. It cost $20.00.

[@user-nl9ne5gk6k]

"retacting the pads"???... umm, whats "retacting" mean? and "pads" are on front rotor/caliper brakes, rear drum brakes have SHOES! freakin' amateurs! Also, no need to bash shit with hammers there Thor, they do have pullers to pop those studs out much easier! LOL

[@bishop5166]

The Fucking studs come out in 2 swings of the hammer with no damage to any other parts. Unless you don't know how to swing a hammer. ...silly rabbit.

[@midnightraiin4035]

i was thinking that too (Thor). at least hit it with penetrating oil before you hit it. though very helpful.
