- In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace a wheel stud on any truck SUV or automotive vehicle. In the first part of the video I show the preferred method that I use to replace the studs regularly. It requires a special to make sure to check the link in the description to find where you can purchase the stool for a good price. However if you don’t have the stool in the second part of the video, I show how to replace and he started using some washers in wheel bearing grease. Make sure to purchase a new Lugnuts for the stud whenever you do this job. Do not attempt to reuse in the first part of the video I show the preferred method that I use to replace the studs regularly.

Who would dislike this video? Maybe it was the auto shop that will now not get my business because I can do the work myself.
People may have disliked because there are better/safer ways of removing and replacing a stud. I think this is fine but for OCD types they may opt for using a less harsh method (joint separator, for example).
WAKA WAKA!!!
Maybe people tried it and it wasn't as easy as it seems
Bets it has to do with tools; Either they didn’t have most of the tools used, or they used more specified tools exclusively made for this job
If you add a larger washer; such as a 27mm and insert your regular washer, let's say uts a 19mm, you can Insert the 27mm backwards through the bold and slide the smaller one inside. 😉 also It works just like a replacement washer and i just used wd40 and hand cranked it with my torque wrench
Wow, I was just quoted $1,700 to replace 10 of these, this is basic level skill required. Thanks for the helpful video.
robbery lol
I wouldn’t call it basic skills.. any skill is ez when u know it .. but not when u don’t 😂😂😂😂😂
Watched this video last night, woke up this morning and replaced my broken lug stud. Thanks a ton!
Quick tip! You can use a very large socket (about 30mm) and fit it over the stud backwards to act as a removal tool. Simply put a nut on the stud after placing the larger socket and ensure you have enough room inside the larger socket for a smaller socket. Tighten up the nut until you can’t anymore and you’ve installed your wheel stud!
f'n genius, my guy.. didn't realize it, but I got two of 32 mil sockets!! I hope it works when I replace some studs!
Lmao it won’t get stuck in the socket square?
Smart! Thank you
I just tried this and it works great. I had a 1 1/2" socket lying around. Thanks! 🙏🏻
better than nothing, but not quite the same as the proper tool, which has a bearing on the back side to reduce friction and chance of spinning and ruining the splines/hub.
Good advice but I'd like to give you a tip/trick for the next time you need to remove both the caliper & bracket. You can use a C clamp to depress the caliper pistons just enough so that you can take out the 2 bolts that hold the caliper bracket on. Doing this let's you slide the bracket, caliper & pads off the rotor all together. It saves a little time when replacing studs or hub & bearing. Daddy taught this girl well. 👍😁
And remember to protect the master cylinder by simply opening fill cap before using C clamps.
@f c exploding, if the brake fluid level is high, when you compress the piston all that fluid has no where to go
@rusty nail my understanding was always just that removing the fill cap before pressing your calipers in keeps the lines and caliper free of air getting inside, eliminating the need to bleed them. This actually does work. The brakes feel spongy as hell at first but pumping the pedal and refilling the calipers with fluid returns them to proper operation. If you were going to press all 4 calipers at the same time, common sense tells us that once your fill reservoir is full of fluid if the cap remains in place there’s going to be that point that the calipers stop pressing in at which point if you tried forced them to press something somewhere would rupture but I’d be quicker to guess this would occur at one of the other calipers. Now that I’ve typed all that i realized that @Benjamin Black is the one who this reply probably should have been addressed to. My bad, can’t just erase it though.
To all the commenters about the master cylinder. It's impossible to "explode" or ruptue any part of the system unless there's a weak point already. It would already have ruptured during normal driving due to the high fluid pressures during braking. Secondly, as brakes wear, the fluid level drops in the master cylinder. When you compress the wheel cylinders, you are pushing that fluid back into the empty space in the master cylinder. The brake system is a sealed system. Unless you open a brake line, there should be no air in the system. The brakes will feel spongy after installing the calipers but it will go away after a few pumps of the brake pedal as the fluid in the master cylinder get pumped back into the lines and calipers. None of what I stated applies to cheap Chinese master cylinders. Some don't have a bladder in the master cylinder cover to take up the empty space.
@rusty nail You won't 'explode' the master cylinder, but you could easily rupture a seal somewhere.
Luckily, most modern cars actually have a vent in the brake fluid reservoir so overpressure has somewhere to go before damaging internal components.
Clear as day. No BS. I am so glad you included the washer/grease tip. Thank you.
The grease serves no purpose except to make a mess.
What about making sure that the washers dont stick together?@@ramtek2702
Thanks for the tip on the stud install tool! Last time I needed to replace a stud was about 10 years ago and I fumbled through it successfully. Your guide will make it much smoother this time.
Thanks man! I was ready to pull the axle on my son's truck. This saved me tons of time and worked like a charm! I didn't have the fancy conical shaped washer so I just used the lug nut itself, it worked fine no damage. Thanks again!
Great vid. You explained it well and best part you actually show what you are doing and what you did. Before and after view. Idk why more people don't do this like you did. Great vid!
Wow. A lot simpler than I thought it would be. Thanks for the video!
so we had to cut the heads off the studs to remove them, the cut half the heads off the new ones to get them in. having a spacer there to get the new studs in was such a great idea it helped a lot. couldnt have done it without this video
Big thanks man. I had to stop once I removed the rotor assembly and the brake calipers because I did not know how to remove the stud. You made it so easy. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the video. Replacing my wife's transmission showed me that she's missing a stud. I'll be replacing that today thanks to you.
Wtf
@@busystuff23yearsago15 I lawld
Can replace a trans but not a stud?😂
Never had to do it before. I CZcams'd the trans swap as well. 🤷
@@TrentBigW Very well. That’s impressive for a trans haha
Thank you - so glad I found this video , made my day.
Mate...found your channel a few week ago...great stuff...very well done.....👍👍👍👍

Thank you for your teaching!
Mr. Hines, seriously, Thank You, You made it look easy ...
But was it?
Thank you so much for this video. So straight forward and concise. You could teach anyone to work on vehicles.
Nice job, Thank for the cool video, we just broke one today changing our struts on the Ford Expedition and this really helps with question I had
Thank you, much appreciated, so Educative,much love from Uganda Kampala 🇺🇬
I have a project truck with a bent stud, it's not horrible but it's a little noticeable, this video is great, very in depth and good explanation, thanks
The corn. You did good you got straight to the point and no playing around.
Well done , quick work , all tools and pieces prepared for the job thanks
Thanks, i dont have the right bit to get the rotor off but i managed to squeeze them out and the new ones in. Now i just need a million washers to get them fully in
Nice video, simple and straight forward
Doing the good lords work. Great video. Well done!
A method I came up with to set the studs is just get the stud in place, slide a couple close ended wrenches over the stud and start tightening while applying pressure to the wrenches to keep pressure on the head of the stud so it doesnt spin.
Damn I have a rounded stud head
Good video and awesome tips I will be using this information at work.

Great video! Thank you. One addition: remember to chemically remove all grease from the newly installed stud.
How do you keep the new stud from stripping when your installing?
Thank you very much for your time and help

Awesome. Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Do you have any suggestions if the tire is still on?
Good content man !!!
Very helpful.
Amazing 💪 thank you so much bro
Great video
Thank you
Would using anti-seize on wheel studs cause the lug nuts to come off?
good vid aaron
Awesome! Thank you!
Question: I encountered a vehicle where all of the lugs spun freely while on the studs (i.e. the studs were no longer secure in the hub).
How do you get the lugs off in such case?
Good video with some grest tips. What's missing is what to when one stud snaps off while tightening a lug nut on it, but will Not pull out from the hub. On the rear left of my 08 RAV4, one stud is somehow caught in the hub. I can rotate n jiggle it, but not pull it out, and now have a lug nut on it enough that I can only see ~1/4 inch of the bolt, so no angle to cut it. And no access from behind, of course. Any suggestions?
Just bought the Lisle tool. Hard to believe there are kits that cost over $200 to do this. But if you have bad aim, use a soft metal hammer to remove the stud. Like a brass hammer.
Good work
awesome thanks man
Thank you! 😊
thank you!
Those studs came out easy, mine are extremely tight.
Thanks bro
Thanks man 👍👍
I have to replace my studd, and this helps a lot. But I think I have to replace the hub too because the stud is stripped and spinning. Do you have a video on that?
Thank you 🙏
Lol holy shit a great CZcams video !! I was scared of using the washers and didn’t want a 30 min job to turn into a day long thing but that shit really worked !!! Got my moms jeep nice and fixed back on the road they didn’t even realize I had the car apart loll
Awesome! It’s a good feeling when it all works out! Glad to hear u got it fixed and thanks for the compliment.
The only part you didn’t show and edited out was when you pulled the stud through using the washers and it got stuck because your washer wasn’t quite big enough!
Thank you good video
great video, thanks for helping the ignorant
nice video
With all the loose socked out there at garage sale why not use a 50 cent snap-on. Dont know how it will work as i just came in frim the cold but will try and your washer method and see how it works. Thanks for the ideas
Man thank you !!!
Hello Aaron, what model is that milwaukee ratchet tool? thanks
Car we just bought day of the tire blew out so as we where taking off the lug nuts to put the spare on we found someone had impacted the piss out of 3 of the nuts practically welding the lug nuts to the studs. They snapped immediately as soon as pressure was applied to remove them
Amazing video, at 0:56 theirs a tall skinny locked lug nut that matches the one on my car and i havent been able to find a key online. could you please tell me the name of it?
Thanks 🤙
Thank you much
Thank you sir
you and chrisfix have the same voice and the same skills i like your channel
Thank you for the support!
Where did you get that gold lug nut at the start of the video the flat one
Awesome
Very informative video!
Only one more thing to say,
Hold on to your lug nuts it's time for an overhaul! 🤣🤣🤣
