WHEEL STUD REPLACEMENT TOOL

Lug stud tool saves lug nuts from galling using washer install methods. No more ruined studs or hubs either from pressure or misalignment.

Here are some amazon links to the tool. I make money from purchases. Thank you! $21 Original: amzn.to/41VvZoz $12 Copy: amzn.to/3V0OK7G

Open end lug nut with washer works like a charm i keep one in my tool box. Rust wd4o and a sledgehammer is fine for me but if you working on a million dollar car i understand 😅

[@EasyFixShaun]

True. Anything that works for you works. I like to make sure wheels and related equipment and fastening them is as good as possible for safety 😃

[@edwardlittle5541]

I usually use an over sized , extra thick nut on top of the washers. It eliminates the need to add more washers if you don't quite have enough.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Great tip 😃

[@user-mx8rn6tj8h]

I have one. It works wonders. Great tool. Not used often but when it’s used it makes life easy!

[@EasyFixShaun]

Totally agree! 😃

[@spelunkerd]

I already had one of those Lisle pilot bearings to pull in new wheel studs, but that extra tip with the washers was sweet. Your videos never fail to find something I never thought of.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Im glad you like that part! Really appreciate your comments 😀😀🔧

[@nrobo7692]

Ive replaced a wheel stud with a wheel stud installer. I kept cross threading the stud when screwing on the lug nut. Use some anti seize for the first screw

[@EasyFixShaun]

The usually hold better if installed dry for me.

[@yaelsanchez3057]

Or also grease your washers so they don’t create friction. Works for me

[@EasyFixShaun]

Good tip! any grease is better than no grease 😃 Usually lug nut will still be damaged though.

[@0naquest]

this is exactly what I was planning to do. Thanks for posting this

[@EasyFixShaun]

Excellent! No problem! Glad to help 😀😀

[@rcole3838]

Best practice is to use a press, but the Tool can work. Absolutely critical to make sure stud head seats fully.

[@EasyFixShaun]

The tool is a press. It’s just not a tradition press. It solves access problems of a press 😀

[@vincentmiconi1869]

It's not, "breaking the rules." It's making new ones! 👍

[@EasyFixShaun]

True 😀😀

[@zacharyyoder6680]

All i used was a lug nut and a hammer, worked just fine.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Great tip if you have access! 😃

[@JaySalvhus]

The problem is doing it like that is The threads get stretched..but do what you need to do..

[@Krankie_V]

I've got two of them 😊 Sometimes, when you use the impact, it messes up the threads on the stud and nut. That's if they fit really tightly. I learned that it's just more gentle to do it with a ratchet. Sucks that it takes more time, but it doesn't ruin parts that way.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Good tip! The oldest "OG" version of the tool used fine thread bolts and is what I have. I holds up to impact abuse. They were were made for impact use and had labels on the box. Some of the newer economy versions are having having issues stripping if used too many times from what I can tell. I have a new version and am testing it. Hand operation is an excellent way to not have an issue. I will work on an updated video eventually for that with some solution options. Hand tools is the simplest solution by far. I still like impacts, but I need a hand tool install video like you are saying.

[@jackkhill4444]

Just use an old axle nut

[@EasyFixShaun]

Good tip 😀. Greater chance of marring the taper on the lug nut though.

[@KarstRats]

This is mow the second short ive seen with brakes that have drums inside rotors. What cars have this? Ive done brakes on many cars. Never seen this.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Many disc brakes have this setup. The other common style is the parking brakes incorporated into the rear calipers with a cable or electrical actuator. So they just use the rear brake pads and rotors without the added drum and brake shoe "hybrid" set up 😃

[@jmfb.1984]

Gran idea, gran herramienta

[@EasyFixShaun]

😃🤌

[@EaStxVaNxiNc]

I use a dent puller with a screw threw a lug nut works like a charm

[@EasyFixShaun]

Interesting. Ive never seen that before. Seems like it wouldn't pull the stud in square and could damage the grip provided by the knurling on the stud. It could increase the chances of the stud spinning in the wheel hub hole at a later date.

[@EaStxVaNxiNc]

@@EasyFixShaun there splines on a lug stud not squares and your driving them in straight with a dent puller the weight is what is pounding them in place and straight same thing with any other way of installing them there made to me punched in from rear and the splines grip I been usen it for over 2 decades with out a problem and installing commercial and standard vehicles since then works like a charm

[@EasyFixShaun]

Excellent! 😀😀

[@jasonclegg6520]

I use the bearing from an old cv axle

[@EasyFixShaun]

interesting 😃

[@mtnorgard]

Interesting. I used used one of these tools for the first time at my new job. I swear my phone is spying on me.

[@EasyFixShaun]

It could be 😂

[@Mbrown553]

Zero friction... no. Reduced friction... yes.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Good point 😀

[@srb4722]

Maybe put the studs in the freezer for 2hrs to shrink them a bit.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Great tip I need to try that 😃

[@jacklondon9808]

My friend uses press machine

[@EasyFixShaun]

Great method also 😃

[@theonlyonegrimey]

Great tool but the bearing doesnt last long like that but awesome

[@thebigman2194]

How did you get your stud in im having trouble with it the back passenger stud is messed up and I have the stuff for it I just don’t know how to take it off and put a new one in

[@EasyFixShaun]

You have to strategically get them in past the brakes and bearing and hub and dust shield. Sometimes getting them starting and slightly turning the hub by hand will slide them right in. The tighter it is around the hub to install them the trickier it is. Sadly, they are getting harder and harder to install on some vehicles making bearing replacement the ONLY solution in some cases.

[@mikehupp2913]

You do it your way other do it there way with out spending money on that tool if i know most mechanics they just made what they needed to do the job

[@EasyFixShaun]

True. Many ways to accomplish 😀😀

[@schaubw1]

Thats amazing! My first car i drove for over 2 years with a broken stud on both front wheels because i could not figure out how to replace it.

[@EasyFixShaun]

No way! The old school washer method works great but this tool really makes it a breeze 😃🔧

did your car have a little cluck noise while driving with the 2 broken studs? @schaubw1

so the bearing just stops it from binding is that all

[@EasyFixShaun]

Yup!

[@OOOO-ou6ek]

If the lug nut is soft it will fuck up the lug

Yup economy nuts aren't as good as oem 😀

[@ryang1589]

just find a axle nut that fits, been doing this for years you don't need some silly tool

[@EasyFixShaun]

Your method works good. The tool works better though. It's cheap also compared to marring and destroying lug nuts with your method. Either method will work though 😃🔧

[@ryang1589]

@@EasyFixShaun Could be the way you're doing it but i've never destroyed a lug nut

[@EasyFixShaun]

Nice! I am hit or miss when I do it with just washers. I like the tools 💯 accuracy rate 😃

[@ryang1589]

@EasyFix. It's definitely the way you're doing it I use a axle nut not washers. I've never had one problem

[@EasyFixShaun]

Outstanding! 😀

[@fawzisdudah8511]

How do you get the new stud in?

[@EasyFixShaun]

You need a strategy sometimes. Most time there is enough room to slide right in just past the brake components. Sometimes though they don't leave room for servicing the vehicle studs 😀

[@fawzisdudah8511]

@@EasyFixShaun Then that is most of the time! In that case you cut through the dust panel, making a small flap to work your way into the stud hole. I've seen this done by an Egyptian mechanic.

[@EasyFixShaun]

Great tip. Maybe just put a plastic plug in the backing plate if there is room 😃

[@josephdauphin2081]

I have mine 10 years ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EasyFixShaun]

Outstanding tool 🤌. Does it still work as good as the first day you got it? How many studs have you put in with it?

[@abdulazizalbader1727]

i want this is it on amazon?

Yup! Search amazon for "Lisle wheel stud tool 22800" 😀

No! Not Zero resistance...

near zero?

[@johnwonders3577]

There is no easy opening to insert new stud on a 2012 Grand Caravan rear wheel

[@EasyFixShaun]

Engineers 🧑‍💻🤦🏻😂

[@twilson4133]

Spin it to a point. Cut a notch in it, remove the brake shoes, use a magnet where there is a will there is away!

[@EasyFixShaun]

Excellent! Yup, some even drill holes through the dust shield I hear to access the hub with a new wheel stud. I would stick a plug in place where it's drilled though. Might need to get creative. Replacement of wheel bearing is another way. Not ideal, but it comes with new studs in most cases 😃

[@anthonycook5238]

Just put some washers bro an send it friction ? Psh

[@EasyFixShaun]

Lots of problems with that usually. The tool creates perfect results with no damage to lug nut 😃🔧

[@lubetime-autorepair7078]

So basically you did the same thing you would have done without the tool. Ok. Got it.

[@LockeLife]

This video was poorly explained i dont fucking know what youre doing here that told me showed me nothing. I get what is going on im a backyard mechanic in my family but a little explaination eould be cool

[@EasyFixShaun]

Sorry about that. The tool makes wheel stud installation much easier and faster and doesn't destroy lugnuts which is common with the "stacked washer" method 😃
