i have two stripped lug bolts on my front passenger side wheel from the previous own. i cant keep drivin around with only 2 lugnuts holdin my wheel on and it makes a nasty sound wobblin whil driving. help quick please. i looked for a hub assebly thinking that may help but i can only find them for rear. does the front not have a hub assembly. theres got to be a way to fix it. please help me

 

Are there nuts on the two stripped ones? If not, you can just take the wheel off, knock the lugs out with a hammer, and just replace them. If there are nuts stuck on them, you'll have to cut them.

 

i would just cut them off and replace the stud and the whole lugnut altogether

 

The wheels studs come out just like a bolt. Unfortunately without taking the whole sum'bitch apart you have to grind the stud and the hub down so that you can slide them in there. It's really not that big of a deal. Definitely get that done asap. That wheel isn't gonna stay in there long with only 2 lugs.

Here...

Take the wheel off and get behind the caliper. Take these bolts off.


Take the disc off.


You can see here where it is grinded (ground?) down so that you can slide it past. Turn the rotor so that the bad wheel stud is here and beat it out.


Wheel stud before. These are like 99 cents from your local parts store, maybe $1.99.


Grind it down pretty good to where it is almost flat on one side. Hold it with something 'cause it gets a little warm.


Wheel stud after.


Now wiggle it in, grind to grind.


Now you need to get some sort of spacer to pull the stud into place. I used a nut here that is bigger than the lug. Put it on the stud and then tighten the lug down on it and it will pull the stud in tight where it needs to be.


Bam, and the re you go. I doubt this is how Hayne's will tell you to do it, but this is the real world, son.

You said "turn the rotor so that the bad wheel stud is hear and beat it out". Shouldn't it be turn the hub? Its a really small thing, but it confused me the first time i read it.

 

Will this work on a 2001 Civic? Looks like you would have to grind off a lot of the hub to me
