How to Replace Lug Nut Studs : Preparing a New Lug Nut Stud Surface

[nemothablak]

DAMN GOOD DEMONSTATION VIDEOS. I've fixed everything on my cars just by watching these videos

[holland155]

Thank You Nate McCullough,! ( I hope I spelled your name correctly), for the easiest and best answerer to my question! Your instructions were easy to understand and worked for me to a TEE! An Absolutely UN-complicated repair procedure without any special tools as my mechanic had told me! I went to my local junk yard pulled a CV Joint Nut, 22mm .. and did the freezer trick too! I will search for more of tour videos! THANK YOU! Steve I 07030

would this work on atv's to?

[PerfectallyNormal]

Will this work for a standard 4 lug car?

[MrHonda619]

Id give my left lug nut to work with something like that

[sonicnofadz]

Banging on the lug nut (and wheel hub) with a hammer is a great way to destroy your wheel bearing. Instead of banging with a hammer, use a clamp style press (with a large socket to fit over the rear side of the lugnut) to press out the stud without causing impact damage to the wheel bearing ( a big no no).

[wafrederick]

There is a special tool to install lug studs and I do have one which I bought from my Matco tool dealer.Problem with the lug nut metheod is you throw away the lug nut right away

@mattrichardson7 congrats.

Very helpful. I broke the Wheel stud (lug stud) and thought there was not way out. Your tips helped. Thanks you. (It was applied on 2000 Toyota Avalon) and I used the open ring socket of one end of the wrench (instead of constant velocity joint) to do the job. Thank you.

@expertvillage whts the name of tht nut used to pull the new stud again? The CV?

[omarG19100]

@expertvillage my stud is loose and it wont let me take off the lug nut to replace my tires. as im turning the nut the wjole thing turns with it. so all i have to do is get that screw to attach to the stud, then put a lug nut on it then tighten it?

[MAKEMORE4]

Why does my Lug Nut Studs keep on breaking?i replece them and one day later they break agan.

[dafunkmonster]

@MAKEMORE4 Probably because you're trigger happy with the impact wrench. Never tighten lugs with an impact, it screws up the threads. It also makes it very easy to cross-thread the lugs, and that will almost always result in shearing a stud when you try to take them off.

Also, use anti-seize. It makes your life easier.

[junekentucky]

@dafunkmonster ... never tighten lugs with impacts... hmm, guess the millions of times that's done every day at tire stores are flukes since I don't see them breaking any studs..

[sumdedgie]

@junekentucky No fluke, because its when you try to take them off again that they break. The impact gets it on whilst at the same time mangaling the thread making it quite often impossible to remove the nut without breaking the stud.

[papa54321]

Not good to use a bar on your threads you can damage them, not good to force your bolt to go in by screwing this can force your threads, and they will live less longuer, better use a empty socket and a big C clamp, the lubricant is ok if it's one who evaporate like WD-40 but never use grease or stuff like this. - A professionnal

[stihlthebest]

Whats with these stupid commercials? Its just like the Sunday paper jammed full of worthless ads!

[kenman1717]

i do this alot. i use the cv shaft nut, but i put it the other way, then put and old nut on and pull it in with a air gun. we work flat rate, and don't get paid to freeze them or pull the stud in by hand. and we never use lubricate, its illegal to use it on wheel studs.

[lugnuts299]

My names Lugnuts the bobcat .

[Johnny5liter]

I can't see the procedure with that text in the way

[ashpear524]

I couldnt fit my stud because there was not enough space behind my hub to slip the stud through. Anyone else have this problem???

[MrThaBusiness]

@ashpear524 yea i had that problem, what i did was slip my car into neutral and spin my rotor around a finding a free space to slip my stud thru. I repeated this process about 2-3 times but it worked out.

[stevesmith121]

Can anyone offer additional insight on freezing the stud? Haven't heard of this tip before and it would seem it could make the stud brittle. Maybe a typical household freezer doesn't get cold enough to affect the stud.

[pob245]

good stuff Nate, nice shirt too.

[the3rdeye88]

what about 3" studs on an SN95 rear axle with the abs gear?...do i have to take it to a machine shop?

[EJConrad]

I freeze my ball joints before pressing too.

[ekeller88]

You dont need a constant velocity nut! Just a stack of flat washers will do! Turn the lug nut arround backwards so that the cone is facing you and pull the stud through. This is 100% esier is you have a friend with a impact wrench.

[jedi46300]

Thank you much, this was very helpful!

[crotchrok4]

all u fackers need to learn about the air hammer, u are wasting your time with your cv bullcrap, keep hackin em up!!!

[MEENSTER519]

is the CV nut also known as a Spindle nut?

[EJConrad]

@MEENSTER519 Yes!

[MEENSTER519]

Where can I buy a constant velocity nut? Nobody knows what I'm talking about when I try to purchase one

[WaltGe]

from the looks of the car, the lug stud is the least of the worries.

[mescotto]

Is it so hard to number your videos, expert village?????

[KennethgangstaKane]

good vid... but they do need too be put in order... Peace !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im about to go change my lug stud

[troubzz]

that's one way but if i got caught using a 4-way in my shop i would get bitched at.. and im sure that 4-way would go flying into a dumpster

[guitaristwagner]

[paolo665]
