How to Replace a Broken Wheel Stud (DIY)

The Family Handyman https://www.familyhandyman.com > Automotive
Jan 3, 2023 - Center the driving screw over the stud and tighten it with a ratchet until the stud pops out the back.

The ligs push through the back of the disk and are held in place by friction. To get them out you need to remove the dust cover from the rear of the plate they are sticking through, grab a blunt punch and pound them back know through. To reinsert the new ones simply put the replacement stud through the back of the plate as far as you can .. Place the tire and rim back on and tighten the nut until they pull into the seated position.

you never state why or if damage was present so....

There is usually a notch in the backing(dust) plate or on the spindle itself so that the studs can be pushed through. Every now and again, depending on the vehicle you will have to remove the backing(dust) plate.
The easiest way to replace them is to do with an Impact hammer with a flat valve attachment. It will force them out and press them back in place without too much of an effort. But be sure to run a nut down flush with the hub initially when installing the studs to ensure they are installed straight. If they are installed at an angle you could run the risk of reaming out the splines and end up have to replace the whole hub.

-chalk the wheels so the vehicle can not roll.
-Place the transmission in nuetral.
-jack up the rear of the vehicle.
-remove the real wheels-
-remove the drums or calipers and rotors.
-remove the rear diff fill plug on the side of the differential.
-remove the center cover on the rear differential. Have a drain pan under it to catch the lube that will come out.
-rotate the drive shaft until the rear diff pin bolt is accessible and remove the bolt.
-remove the rear diff pin
-push the axles in
-remove the c clips from the axles
-pull the axles out
-replace the backing plate/dust shield.

They do make a two piece backing plate that can be installed without removing the axles. You will unbolt the old backing plate then cut it into two pieces to remove. The new two piece backing plate will slide over the axle and then bolt into place. I know for sure NAPA has them.

If you have any questions let me know!

Install torque converter attaching bolts. Tighten bolts to following torque:

40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm) with 9.5 in. 3-lug converter
55 ft. lbs. (74 Nm) with 9.5 in. 4-lug converter
55 ft. lbs. (74 Nm) with 10.0 in. 4-lug converter
270 in. lbs. (31 Nm) with 10.75 in. 4-lug converter

I hope this helps.

The stock lugs take a 21mm socket

13mm caliper bolts

You can remove the hub carrier (bolts are behind the backing plate).

Don't pound on it, you will ruin the non-serviceable bearings. Put the lug thru and put a new lug nut on it. Us an air gun to draw the lug up snug.

REMOVAL:

1. Lift clutch pedal to uppermost position to disengage clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft.
2. Push clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft forward and unhook clutch release lever cable from clutch and brake pedal pivot shaft and allow it to slowly swing rearward.
3. Raise and support vehicle.
4. Remove clutch release lever dust shield.
5. Disconnect clutch release lever cable from clutch release shaft.
6. Remove retaining clip, then clutch release lever cable from flywheel housing.
7. Remove starter motor from flywheel housing, then engine rear plate to front lower flywheel housing bolts.
8. Remove transmission.
9. Remove flywheel housing back just far enough to clear clutch pressure plate, then remove housing.
10. Remove clutch release shaft from flywheel housing by pulling it through window in flywheel housing until retainer spring disengages from pivot.
11. Remove clutch release hub and bearing from clutch release shaft.
12. Loosen six clutch pressure plate bolts evenly to release spring tension gradually and avoid distorting clutch pressure plate. If same clutch pressure plate is to be installed, mark plate and flywheel so pressure plate can be installed in its original position.
13. Remove clutch pressure plate and clutch disc from flywheel.

INSTALLATION:

1. Position clutch disc and pressure plate assembly on flywheel, noting following:
   1. Three flywheel housing to block dowels on flywheel must be properly aligned with clutch pressure plate.
