wheel stud removal

[ovhonda1]

Any tricks to getting the studs out of the hub. I am looking to put longer studs in for extenders.

I just whack em with a hammer.

that is exactly what I was thinking, but I like to check before beating the hell out of something. thanks for the reply.

if you want to save them, put the lugnut on first to protect the threads...they are not cheap from honda...like 3 bucks each or so

How about the studs that thread into a front hub? If you grab them with vise grips you will mess up the threads. Yeah using a rag around them helps but can still mess them up. How do you guys remove these?

if youre talking about the studs for the brake rotor, you can pull em out and throw em out, and use bolts, or tighten 2 nuts against each other on the stud and put a 10mm wrench on the bottom nut and it should take the stud out.

Never thought of that. I will have to try it out.
