Driver rear wheel stud replacement

[Storm490]

Hey guys, first post. Managed to snap my rear driver wheel stud when rotating my tires. Anyone have experience replacing this themselves? I’ve looked for guides or videos but haven’t had any luck. Thanks in advance.

I haven't looked on my civic yet,but on my Toyota, the stud was just pressed in, I banged out the old one with a hammer, put the new one on and used a bunch of washers under the lug nut and tightened it until it pulled the new stud in place, you'll have to use an open end lug nut though and the ones on the civic are closed.

Did you have to move anything out of the way to bang it out? I know every car will be different but I’m just trying to get a general sense for what I should be looking to do. My FIL has a lot of car repair experience, and will be helped by, but it’s all on American GMC/Chevies.

Be careful when push the stud out. Leave nut on as a head to save thread and be careful with hammer.

Any videos on Y-T how to ?

I didn't move anything,just be very careful not to hit the rim. If the stud broke close to the wheel,use a punch or something long to push it out with. Just to clarify also, I did this with the wheel off the car.

I don't think he has to worry about saving the thread since he snapped the stud and it might be a pain to get the nut off if he pounds it into the snapped thread. But if you're trying to bang out a good one for some reason,then yea,the nut on it is an awesome idea to save it.

Thanks! Yea just finished actually. Was much easier than I thought. Just wheel off, brake caliper off, one screw to take off the rotor holding the wheel studs. Popped it out with hammer and screwed new one in.
