B20egNBK Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hey everyone, my wheel lugs just recently broke off, and im trying to replace them. I'm sorry if this is a repeat topic, im new here and I need some assistance fast. I can't find anything online about this so I'm asking ya'll I took everything off my brakes and everything. All the bolts are off and I'm left with the hub. There isn't enough clearance on the front wheel of the 92 to just poke out the old lug studs, so I was wondering how you take off the hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Most cars have a slot in the back that allows the stud to slide out backwards, you dont have to remove the hub. I suggest you get some PB Blaster, that stuff is God's Lube, soak anything for 20 minutes and the nastiest, rustiest bolt will slide out. Besides that, lots of elbow grease, a rubber mallet, hammer. Patients. There is also a stud removal tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killtodie Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Can you take a pic of the hub? Some of them have a single philip screw that holds it in place, some have a safety pin like device... dont know what a 92 looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killtodie Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Can you take one dead center so I can see the hub, sorry I didnt clarify earlier. but looking at that, looks like you cut off the three hubs there, just blast them with PB Blaster, get a long punch and hit it with a heavy hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B20egNBK Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 the front is just the four lugs thats it, all the screws are removed. but i can't punch them out cuz theres no room in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I think I remember that type of hub, there is a big nut on the center threaded bolt there. But first you must remove the little cover over it, you can see that thick ring in the center right? I think that's the cover and the bolt is right behind it, I saw something similar on a nissan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killtodie Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 yup, see that little flat area in the center bolt? get a flathead in there and take off that ring right around it, behind there should be a bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B20egNBK Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 that flat headed part is on the axle, it doesn't lift any ring up or anything, i think i need a puller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killtodie Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 hmm, that could be a bearing, there are little pick ax looking like tools that remove those. I dont know at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killtodie Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Here ya go http://forums.acuralegend.org/remove-hub-assembly-replace-t6611.html?amp; I was right on removing that center thing, you probably will need to buy new bearings and a good time to invest into that tool that removes them. check out rock auto for all your part needs I hear most people take that to a car shop, center hubs require some decent torque, 180+ Make sure you have the ability to put it back in with proper ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B20egNBK Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Thaaanks man, yea thats perfect! Thanks for finding that for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavingStrangers Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 yeah i just had to do that on my hatch recently and i did it sort of how the link say excep you know that black round metal sheet thing behind it? you can actually move that around until you find the spot that the stud will come out, you can use a tool or do it old school like i did i hammered it out, gently lol killtodie, you were great help bud, glad you joined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 you must press the hub off. loosen the axle hub nut, use 3 jaw puller and remove hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
