You don't need to pull the hub assembly or anything for the studs. Just pull the brake caliper and the caliper mount bracket thing and pound them out and just grind a flat spot to put it in. I wouldn't think it wold affect the integrity or strength of the stud.

And my Blox bushings are totaly trashed from being dumped. I'm going with either Function7 or Skunk2. Might try and find some used Skunk2's and buy replacement bushings. Their new style bushings are supposed to last a super long time, only $18 for the set through a vender on HT that I contacted. And for theirs you don't need a press.

 

I didn't use a press for the replacement LCA bushings. I would rather remove everything instead of grind a corner off the stud. If I am understanding what you are saying correctly.

I have been looking at Skunk2 and Function7, but I will probably settle with S2's.

 

Here's what I'm talking about: http://www.diymyhonda.com/civic/whee...t-96-00-civic/

And your sig is driving me nuts, looks like somebody elses, I think Maximus' and it confuses me lol.

 

haha, I had this one a looong time ago. My first sig basically.

About the stud install. Not too sure about it still. I'll have to research it some more tonight. If this does work out, it will save me a whole hell of a lot of money! Thanks for the link scott

 

Decided against the extended wheel studs as the priced started to get overwhelming for the install and everything else. Also, they would serve me no purpose other than "bling" factor. The DIY guides that Scott listed are fine for OEM length studs, but not extended ones as they are too long to work with.

I ended up just grabbing a replacement stud from the local Honda dealership today for $6.50 and plan on installing tomorrow. I will give the DIY guide a shot. Once I get this wheel stud replaced, I pwomise I will have pics of the car with the new wheels.

 

Extended would work, the diy guide is using extended ones.

 

Those studs in the DIY are slightly longer than OEM. The studs I was looking at were 76mm. They cannot fit. Ask me how I know

 

I am looking at putting some in, preferably ARP's. They are 2.85" long, just under 75mm. I am probably going to pull my whole suspension system this winter so it shouldn't be a problem I don't think. And with putting in rear disc I'll have it apart anyway.


Did you already pick up a set of the 76mm and try to fit em?

 

Well, I tried, but I cannot figure out how to get the old stud out. Removed the brakes, moved the broken stud to the "proper" position, smacked it with a hammer a few times, awesome, right? Not really, the stud is now wedged against the hub and I cannot remove it. I would try and thread it back through, but I cut the threads off hoping it would help the situation.

Yes, the back of the stud is hacked up. I have been trying everything I can think of to push the stud back in, or cut the head off. Right now, the back of the stud is against the hub, preventing any movement. Any ideas? If I can create some sort of clearance, that is all I need for right at this second. Here's a pic of what is looks like.

 

Sawzall the headoff and hammer it the rest of the way through. Otherwise use like a cutting wheel on like a dremel if you can get back there.
