Thread: ok last thin wheel studs on the front

I'm not sure what the question is.

Why is the left different from the right?

Can you post a pic?

I assume he means replacing studs which still doesnt make sense ?

I'm guessing that he wants to replace the wheel studs and although the side of car makes no difference, he just happened to mention it was LHS.

Now if I am correct, to answer the question. To do it properly, yes you do have to do a bit of dismantling.

However, you can cheat and still get a good result. It was many years ago that I did mine so I can't remember exactly what I did, but from memory I ground a flat on the flange part at the rear of the stud.

This then allowed the stud to go through the hole.

yea i made no sence at all sorry,

i busted a stud driving the freeway no idea how its got me beat,
i replaced one wheel stud years ago and could not remember how i did it

and because the drum of the disc brake comes in close to where the wheel stud gose in it jams up on a bad angle

in the end i did also file one side on the angle to slip it in cheers for that
