Wheel Studs

Special Tool(s):

Removal

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Do not use a new part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

1. Remove the front brake disc.





2. Using the special tool, press the stud from the flange.





3. Line up the stud with the hole in the wheel knuckle and remove the stud.

Installation





1. Insert the stud through the hole in the knuckle and into the flange, making sure the serrations on the stud line up with the serrations in the flange.





2. CAUTION: Do not use power tools to install a wheel stud. The serrations in the flange can be stripped.

NOTE: Do not use the wheel nuts that came with the vehicle.

Install washers and a wheel nut on the wheel stud and tighten the nut until the stud seats against the flange. Discard the nut after use.
3. Install the front brake disc.
