The Lisle 22800 Wheel Stud Installer makes installing wheel studs easy.
Step by Step Instructions:
1. Block up wheels and and lift vehicle on jack stands.
2. Remove wheel.
3. Remove Brake Calipers.
4. Remove Wheel Rotor.
5. Hammer out broken or damaged wheel studs. Ensure there is a space behind the stud to eject to. If the wheel stud is stuck, use blow torch to help brake free the stud.
6. Place the new stud into the axle wheel stud hole and place the Wheel Stud Installer Tool over the new wheel stud.
7. Screw on the lug nut (I recommend a new lug nut). The Wheel Stud Installer Tool will automatically align the splines of the stud into the hub and ensure that the stud is centered into the hole. Tighten the lug nut with a socket wrench until the head of the new wheel stud is snug against the back of the hub.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for all of the wheel studs you want to replace.
9. Reinstall wheel rotor, brake calipers, and finally the wheel.

I just got this today from Amazon to replace all of my wheel studs. Nice to see that even with an older video that the same things that worked then are still available now!
Great tutorial! Nice tip at the end about adding the studs to the freezer to shrink them and make the install easier.
Amazing video thank you so much here I thought I was going to the shop and spent a good amount of mula and you sir save me a bunch of money and gave me the confidence to this job. Thank you if you ever in NJ I owe you lunch brother
Regular Fawking Mike, Awesome glad u could do it yourself. If I'm in NJ I will send you a comment. Cheers
Omg...I don't know why I didn't think of freezing the studs...God you are such a genius! Thank you! I hope this works. I'm gonna try it tomorrow! Wish me luck!
It can decrease the overall diameter by 0.25 mm on a typical stud
Looks like a great tool #22800! Thanks for demonstration.
Thanks!
Thanks bro very helpful video and I just ordered the tool.
I love lisle tools use them all the time grate quality tools at a fair price I will be ordering one of these thanks for the video
JOE FORD DIY it is a quality tool. Should last longer than I will
Nice job thanks, now I feel confident enough to get the job done
Excellent video. Had to replace axle and bearings on my 96 Chevy truck. The axle comes with the studs but they need to be installed. This has been very helpful. Now go watch my dog video. LOL
Very helpful man!!! I just changed mines brother! I’ll buy this leveling stud tool today as well
great to hear! Let me know how it goes.
Will do
I work at a shop, this is literally the exact one I bought off the snap on truck with a lifetime warranty, works great.
Scott Techmer it is a great product
How much for one. It looks nifty as hell
Nevada 524 About $23.00.
Who's that "lifetime Warranty from Snap On? Because Leslies site specifically states the bearing is NOT warrantied against wear and also Staes the bearing is a wear part.
Great tool. Great video. Bought that exact same brand from Advanced Auto. Paid a lot more than 20 bucks. Paid 45 and some change.
Good idea to lube the threads, makes things easier.
Another great Lisle tool I need to get. Tx 4 the vid. I wonder why there are negative reviews on Amazon.
Charles Brown It is the perfect tool for the job
Only thing I can add after using this tool is to use heavy grease on the conical portion of the tool and add a tad to the threads of the stud. Saves the stud threads and saves the conical portion if the stud installation tool.. Like with most things....a little lube goes a Long way in almost everything in life... ;)
🤣😂 Lubrication is the key to success.
@@ProfessionalPepper ...Funny I didn't see or hear you mention grease in your video. I might add if you do use grease make sure you use brake cleaner and get that grease off after you've installed the stud. The grease does make sense though.
Do not put any type of of lubricant on the wheel studs. The lubricant (grease) can cause problems with the torque of the nut.
great Advice as a DIY guy i never knew that tool existed untill i saw one for sale online and tuned into your channel to see how they work my Dad taught me growing up the heat and cooling trick as we used it pretty often doing automotive restorations on Antique British Sports Cars two other manipulation tools he had was one foot long solid Brass one inch diameter rod we used to hit things without damaging threads or bolt heads and he had a Rawhide Sledge hammer that was about 8 pounds with a short Wooden handle i beleive that was a Antique Body and Fender tool my Grandfather had from being in that trade in the 1930s and 40s way before Plastic Filler was around and dents were fixed with Hammer and Dollies and solder and lead ! my Dad called it Rawhide but to me i always thought it was a bunch of 1/4” thick leather strips held together with a heavy peice of Steel wrapped around the Leather. to keep it in the shape of a mallet
There are tools for every job. Interesting.
Great solution!
Great tip on freezing the lug stud before installing. I should have thought of that.
Mitz Kakazu, Thermophysical Properties of Matter is a strong force.
Yee that tip saved me a lot of hardship too. Thanks
I use washers or a socket. This is definitely a more professional way of doing studs but all you need is a spacer so the stud can be pulled through and I don't do studs enough to need a tool.
Great video!
Thank you for the feedback!
got ripped off, paid $40 at o'riellys but worked like a charmed, studs went in easy peazy.
Nice video man, thanks loads!
cheers!
Cool video👍
Thanks!
This thing has a large conical shape which I'm thinking helps from squeezing the nut. I tried two brake discs together as a space and the thing did not want to pull in; I tried with an impact electric gun and did not do anything except damage the nut by making its conical end narrow (would not go in into the other bolts lol. I think the rotating bearing helps a lot too it seems.
scientist100 it's the perfect tool for the job.
Using the tool is a good idea. You can also put the new studs in the freezer over night to make them shrink a tad.
VERY cool dude thanks
Flguy34698 your welcome. it's the perfect tool for the job.
Great job man just just bought one
Great! I hope it fits your needs.
Do you know how big the opening is? Like how big of a stud i can use that on
@@Elias_Abrego i won't be at home for a while so I'm sure you can find out on their website
Thank you for this info
You're welcome, sir.
Thanks guy.
Will this work with really tight studs. One is mostly in the other half way and I've used impact on lug nut at well as hammer and "punch".
Ashroyer86 if your using that much force try another way. Get this tool, spray the studs down with break free lube, then freeze the studs before trying to install them.
Just did this job after tire place stripped 5 outa 6. Drilled and replaced,
Freaking tire shops and their impact guns are infamous for cross threading studs and stripping lug nuts.
Cool to see. Tool will be very helpful. Now we just gotta get you some Milwaukee cordless impact guns to get those studs on faster! :)
Indeed, send them my way. I've seen a lot of studs, bolts, and nuts due to lazy people not taking time with high speed impact tools.
Impacts are the reason those studs break 😂
@@Mrjackietreehorn indeed.
What would you do if the nut got stuck on the bolt with the installer… and the lug lost its threads so now it’s just spinning freeely 😢
Best to add anti seize to prevent GALLING. Galling ruined two of my new studs and lug nuts😢😢😢
will this work putting the wheel studs after putting the new rotor to the hub on the chevy 4500 duel rear wheels???
They sell a version specifically for semis and large trucks 🚚
Just got mine in today!
Awesome, it's a great little tool. I've been lending mine to friends for beer 🍺 😋
@@ProfessionalPepper it worked great! And thanks for the great tip lol.
Great video. Does this tool also work to keep the axel from spinning when you torque the nut? I found that to be a problem when replacing the front studs on a rwd vehicle. Had to pull them the rest of the way with the wheel on.
Drive My Exotic, it does reduce the overall torque applied to the axle, but your vehicle should be it park or in gear to keep the axle from spinning.
The Professional Prepper (Prep Know Do) it was in park but that doesn't keep the front from spinning... though I could have engaged 4 wheel drive perhaps...
Put a pry bar in between the studs
got one !
Does the special tool mess up the lug nut in any way or does it leave it in perfect condition?
absolutely perfect condition
Do you know how much larger diameter the stud knurl should be than the hole in the axle the stud is getting pressed into? Thanks
That would be highly specific to every vehicle. It should be no greater than .5mm or even 0.25mm. If you are having issues, freeze the studs to shrink them and lubricate the stud and hole.
What about using an impact gun if the shaft is out of the axle housing? Or would a press be better? I don't want to use a press and have the studs crooked.
I'm not exactly sure what your describing, but using an impact gun is fine as long as the lug nut is placed on the threads first by hand.
I guess I was basically asking if I could use an impact, thanks!
Will it work on 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 4 wheel drive
I beleive this is the larger sized tool meant for big rig trucks amzn.to/2TNW20A
I have a couple of questions and ask purely from a sense of hearing warnings and horror stories from others:
1. In removing the bad stud, will hammering it damage the bearing on the hub? I read I am supposed to use a press to remove it.
2. You kind of answered this, but will pulling it in this cause the threads on the stud to stretch? I was told it had to be pressed in to keep the threads in tact.
Now the official "right answer" is to use a press. Now, how many people have access to one? A: Not many. Now, how people have damaged their hub bearings while hammering out a broken stud. A: Less than 1/10th of 1% (Bernie Sanders Socialist Quote). If you are concerned and have a clamp, you can make a jig to push out stud that way, but I don't think its neccessary. Just IMHO. What do you think?
Pulling it in this manner will absolutely not stretch the threads, unless it is an improperly made stud, and there is no corrosion on the new stud or stud flange.
If your car costs more than $50,000 USD then take it to a Professional, certified dealer for repair, but otherwise, if you take it to a mechanic down the road, this is the method he will use.
Understand that most stealer-ships, I mean dealerships.... will tell you it has to be done there way with special tools so you are forced to give them money to solve a simple problem. Profitable buisness practice.
Thank you for your prompt responses. This really helps. This is for my daughter-in-law's car. The mechanics here want to remove the hub and press in a new stud. I can move the hub myself, just don't want to go there.
I have already purchased the tool you show, but a buddy of mine was warning me about the stretched threads. I cannot corroborate his claims on any forums.
In most videos people use an air gun to pull the new stud in. In this one it seems like it's pretty straightforward to just use a ratchet. Could someone also just use a tire iron?
You can use a tire iron.
Could you remove a stud by using a reverse thread nut? (This is an antique car situation where the studs can't be hammered out & have to come out straight)
You could possibly use a large clamp and rig up something that pushes it out.
Make sure you spray it with break free first. You can also heat up the stud with a blow torch, which causes it to expand so it breaks up any corrosion bonding that's occured over time. Let it cool, then try and press it out.
Liquid wrench penetrating oil is scientifically proven to be the best. It really does work. --> amzn.to/2UXWKeB
if you are doing a front wheel drive vehicle and putting the studs on the rear wheels, when you tighten the the lug with the tool and stud, how do you keep the wheel bearing from spinning?
Manuel Salvatierra you should have your parking brake / emergency brake on and it should stop it from turning.
The Professional Prepper (Prep Know Do) So I would have to put the drum back on, use the parking brake, then use the tool to pull the stud?
Manuel Salvatierra yes
This tool having the conical recess, will it work also with a Ford F350's (RWD) flat-based "mag" lugs?
Andy Prariedog if they are flat, then they should still work. However, they do make another similar installer tool for larger studs. click on the link in the video description and it should be one of the suggested similar items in amazon
Thank you for the response, sir. Found it. Very helpful video and would be alot easier to use this rather than attempting my caveman ways with hammer and such.
Too wide a circumference for my 96 tacoma looking for something more narrow that can still fit a m12x1.5 stud..hits the wheel hub and can only put the stud in at an angle..
use a stack of washers that are of the correct diameter
@@ProfessionalPepper thanks will do
Edit: worked wonderfully
How do you know that the stud is all the way in besides looking at it? I don't want to over tighten it.
Edit: Can I use an impact instead of ratchet?
You can use an impact.
Once you feel it's snugged on, you can put on the wheel, and when you torque it down it will fit itself till it's maxed out.
@@ProfessionalPepper Awesome. Thanks you and very helpful video 🙏🏽
can you use this tool on honda accord let me know thank
pedro rodriguez yes you can. It is universal and will work with almost all vehicles.
Can someone give me tips on how to remove a very stuck wheel stud? After using a penetrating fluid and giving it a good whack with a hammer, the blasted thing is not budging. If anything, it's mushrooming.
Outta Time blowtorch. Heat up the stud only, not the mount. Give it a good whack while hot.
Outta Time put a flat nut at the end of the stud and partially screw it on so you can hit the lug nut but not the stud while it’s screwed on partially that way you don’t mushroom the wheel stud at the end
Sent for a tool and will do my Hyundai getz
When I do it, I just put a bunch of washers on the stud, then tighten it with the lug nut. Cost a buck.
icemule if it works for you great. I've tried that before and I thrashed the threads on a stud. I've also seen splines getting damaged.
Worth a mention that you gotta make sure the washer eye diameter is larger than the stud and the stud lip. If you try and stack washers that are just barely large enough, you could end up pulling the stud lip through the washers, stretching them out, and essentially seizing the stud to the washers. This could also result in the lug cross-threading and not being able to be backed out across the stud, leaving you with a mess lol.
I just pick one up today for 29.99 😎👍
NOICE!!!
I just had one break off the other day. My buddy told me we could just replace the stud as I'm seeing here; however my mechanics are tying to say that it is unsafe to do this and wants me to replace the entire hub for $350. I'd like to get some feedback on this.
alex Green No! Don't listen to them. Just replace the stud
I appreciate the video and the feedback. My buddy and I replaced it yesterday. Needless to say I'm not going back to my now former mechanics who insisted that doing this was unsafe. A $10 15 minute job would have costed me $350 had o listened to that idiot. Thanks again!
alex Green that's great to hear. Knowledge is power. Go tell him off he can't be trusted.
Alternatively, use a stack of washers as spacer
It's a method, not the best, but a method.
Good tip about freezing them
whitesoxbob, yep a trick used in the Army, and mechanic shops everywhere.
Freezing the part works when changing wheel bearings too.
Best to coat it with anti seize pre fitting
tanveer khan good advice, thanks!
Nope, no way, hell no, you don't coat them of the threads of the studs with anti seize. you don't want to aid them in becoming loose and it also is a mess that keeps on messing.
Just use a bolt that is slightly bigger than the stud
How long they have to be in the freezer for
webguy79 15 minutes at most
80 years they will not age
You might have to grind the back of the stud to ease installation. Or also grind the backing plate to ease installation.
interesting tip, thx
A claw hammer is for working on a house !
Fucking dealer wants to charge my 145 bucks to replace my stud fuck that I'm bout to do it myself thanks for this vid
Hammering out the studs will damage your bearings
I think if you have to pound them hard, yes, but if it's a few hits with little resistance then it's not so bad.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What happened to you? You hiding in a bunker? Why did you stop uploading?
Haha, life got me busy. I also moved my auto maintenance videos to another channel. "Nissan Dude".
Two words: Dry Ice. Put your studs in a container of dry ice for 20 minutes, Its frozen Co2. Gets them really cold. Colder than your average freezer and much quicker. (And you can use the leftover dry ice to cool your can of adult beverage too.)
F.K. Burnham great tip if all else fails. Thanks!
I just use a flat washer, and a lug nut or nut with a flat end on it ...lube the stud threads and tighten. I it will draw it in the same way.
Put a lug nut on the stud and hammer on it.
Carl it's a method
The Professional Prepper (Prep Know Do) This is used so the stud won't be damaged while removing the stud.
You’re a fuckin G
Been using an over sized nut for years no problem. About 37 cents later.
I did this with a strike plate and it was a motherfucker. Whoever is reading this comment and thinking of cheating out for the love for all that is holy just buy the tool it’s beer money.
U don’t need that tool u just flip the lug around and tighten it
meh, you could, or this works better and you don't have to worry about stripping threads or miss aligning splines
@Keeper Of The Reaper depends if the lug nut itself is big enough to allow the stud to be torqued... if not then this tool acts as a washer..some lug nuts have holes in the end that allows it to be used but most don't
$2 worth of washers will do the same thing.
@SHAMSUR RAHMAN I have used both washers and this tool. I went out and bought this after the washers pulled two studs at an angle, so your choice. All you need is washers that are bigger then the thread of your bolt so they wont damage the threads but smaller than your lug nut.
Great way to weaken the stud. The washers cause massive heat friction and weaken the integrity of the stud when you tighten down on them. I know because I just warped two lug studs with the washer method. Tried with both an impact wrench and a big ass socket. Neither worked. This tool is my last option before having to pull the axle and take it in to get the studs machine pressed.
This tool like 5 bucks and works way better than washers. Washers are worse to use than this took
@@eldiabs not so much heat.. it's the extra friction.
If your doing one or two.. sure .. do the washers. If your doing many.. tool is better and you will thank it.
Even better is to press on. No possible damage to threads
Or just use washers
You spent 20 on a $3 bearing
It actually has a hardened steel sleeve that is conical on one side so actually no. The conical side ensures everything is centered. Try this with a $3 bearing and you will fail.
Oh please!
Don't waste your money on this garbage.
Just put a larger nut over the stud, then thread on your stud...it'll pull in the lug into position.
HAND RATCHET? Remove "professional" from your name dude... impact gun and DONE.
Haha those professionals with impact guns be the ones stripping my lug nuts!
And those without are NOT professional!!
