Angry need help with wheel stud install

I am so pissed, i'll tell the story, but in short i need to know howto replace two of my wheel studs.

I got this '87 turboII from a guy in PA, and it needed a few things and i fixed all of them except for two wheel studs being broken......actually it was only missing one.....and the mechanic.....im sorry "mechanic" broke another on off of the same wheel

sooooo they order the studs and tell me when i can come in. i come in. i leave. i coe back.....*sigh*
he couldn't start it[simple flodding], so he put in two new spark plugs-30bux-!! he told me,"I can't get them wheel studs out. I'd say, maybe call in tomorrow, talk to the guy that done the inspectin' and ask him if he'll let it slid."

god damn imbred redneck retards.....


anyone that knows how to remove/install wheel studs on an '87 turboII please help me out......

just take off the wheel, then remove the caliper. next, tap the studs out with a hammer. then replace it. i might of missed something, but you get the idea. once you get under there it'll make sense.

this guy seems to be lying out of his *** because studs are pretty easy to get out.

i wouldn't pay the $30 either.

i'm sorry, i'm an idiot. remove the rotor after you take off the caliper.

it's late..

If this is on the front, and most likely your studs are original, and thus frozen in place, you will need to remove the whole hub assembly.

To do this, you need to take off the wheel, then the caliper, then the rotor, then the spindle lock nut, then slide off the whole hub off the spindle (this is a good time to replace the wheel bearings). Get a BFH or a hydraulic press, and press out the old studs and replace with new.

BTW, download a FSM and that has everything you need to know. You can get it at fc3s.org
