Need to remove rear axle to replace tire studs

its not that big of a job block your front wheels raise the rear end and support with two jack stands remove your tires drain your rear differential and remove the differential cover remove the 10mm bolt that holds the stud in place when you remove the stud the side gears will fall out giving you room to push the axles forward so you can remove the retainers once the retainer is removed you can remove the axle just watch the spider gear doesn't fall out of the differential do the same for the other axle once the axles are removed use a seal puller to remove the old seals and a seal installer tool to press the new ones in place both tools are available at any local auto parts jobber. After installing the new seals put some white lithium grease in the seal and install the axles line the axle with your spider gear and push all the way forward then install your retainer and pull the axle back seating the retainer do the same with the other axle after that is done install one side gear push you stud in place and line it up with the other side gear be very careful if there are shims on any of the gears keep them with that gear and make sure they go back in the place they came from try to mark them with a paint marker before removing. After installing the stud with the gears install your bolt I would use lock tight blue on the bolt and clean the rear cover put your permatex blue on the cover, bolt it up and fill the rear differential with quality 85w90 gear oil make sure if your vehicle calls for a friction modifier add that to the mix if you don't you will get allot of chatter possibly damage to the clutch pack and don't believe lube adds when they say modifier not needed if you use there lube That is a Royal mistake I replaced all the fluids with the brand boasting that's all you need and in one weeks time my rear clutch pack was chattering like a kid out in the cold I then added the friction modifier and problem solved it went away, Your done good luck and God Bless

YOU DON'T SAY WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE YOU OWN. SO , THIS IS A RATHER GENERIC TYPE ANSWER. THE HUB OR AXLE SHAFT HAS THE WHEEL STUDS PRESSED INTO IT. THE LUG NUTS FASTEN TO THEM. TO REPLACE A BROKEN STUD YOU MUST USE A PRESS OR A DRIFT PIN AND A HAND SLEDGE HAMMER TO KNOCK OUT THE BROKEN STUD. YOU CAN REPLACE THE BROKEN STUD THE SAME WAY. THE PROBLEM IS YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO REMOVE THE AXLE OR THE HUB, OR THE DISC TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE STUD. AN EASY TASK IT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT TOOLS. IF NOT JUST TAKE IT TO A REPUTABLE TIRE STORE AND THEY PROBABLY WILL REPLACE IT CHEAPER THAN YOUR LOCAL GARAGE WILL. BE PREPARED TO SHELL OUT $45.00 TO REPLACE A $3.00 STUD.

I have never done one on this vehicle but have replaced many on all other cars over the years, this is what i experienced, the stud will pound out with a good 2-3 lb. hammer, and the new stud and nut will get pulled back through the empty hole by use of a strong impact wrench...start the stud by hand try to pull it as much as you can through the splined hole in the axle flange, install the new nut backwards on the stud screw it down as far as you can then with the 1/2' drive impact wrench on full throttle tighten the lug nut...by doing this you are pulling the stud through the void hole.
Please remeber to use a small amount of axle grease on the new stud and hole prior to installing the replacement stud and nut.
You prbably have to remove the disc brake caliper and brake pads along with the rear disc brake rotor to gain access to the stud, there should be an access hole also allowing you to get behind the axle flange for removal and installation.
Hope this works.
Happy Motoring!!

HELLO THERE:
WHEEL STUDS ARE PRESSED INTO THE WHEELS OR DRUMS BY A HYDRAULIC PRESS AND THEY CAN BE REMOVED THE SAME WAY OR THEY CAN BE REMOVED BY USING A SPECIAL SOCKET AND A SLEDGE HAMMER THEY COST ABOUT 3 TO 7 DOLLARS A SET OF 2 AND CAN BE BOUGHT AT ANY PLACE THAT SERVICES WHEELS AND DRUMS OK
hOPE THIS IS VERY HELPFUL FOR YOU
BEST REGARDS MICHAEL

remove all brake components off of that side, pound out studs towards center of the car with a hammer. place the new studs through the back of the axle and then use washers that just fit over the studs for spacers, and put the lugnut on the stud and tighten until the new stud is seated on the back flange of the axle. remove the lugnut and repeat for the rest of the studs.

I'm not familiar with the vehicle but a rear axle is a rear axle.Remove the cover on the rear end[drain pan in place].Roll the diff around till you find an anchor pin.Remove the pin and roll it around again until you can remove the "c" clip.Now the axle will come out.Are you sure you need to remove the axle?You may be able the beat the ild stud out and draw a new stud with a spcer and retighten the wheel bolt to pull it in place,just a thought.

The stud has to be hammered out if you don't have the tools to do this then I suggest you take it to a tire shop they don't charge much. depending if it's front wheel or rear wheel drive will determine what has to be done. If it's a rear axle they will remove the tire and drum and knock out the old one with a hammer and punch and replace it with a new one same size, they can hammer it back in our use washers to pull it into place this is the same on the front wheel. You will need to measure the bolt to get the right length and width. tire shop will have the stud you need.

take tire off, remove drum , hammer out old one. with nut and spacers turn nut to pull stud in hole.
If vehicle has rotor. remove tire, remove brake caliper, remove center axle nut, remove rotor. hammer out old. install new one

I'll try to help you. If you are having trouble with 3 out of 5 studs on one wheel you may want to go to an autoparts store or Salvage yard to look at the whole hub. Usually a press is used to remove the bolts so you would be taking off the hub anyway. When you pay for 3 bolts and labor you may be better off in a Salvage yard or parts place for a different hub. The rear hub on front wheel drive cars is like a trailer axle. Much simpler to remove mounting bolts and press in new bolt. But if rear has differential(rear wheel drive) it has an axle shaft. Would be easier to grind and drill out broken stud on car. You can draw new bolt into place by placing bolt through a socket and use the wheel nut to draw the bolt into the hub.

remove rear tires, then remove brake calipers and rotors, then remove the 4 nuts (each side) that hold the axle shafts to the axle tube (located around the axle tube behind the backing plate) then using a slide hammer pull the axle shafts out, next using a die grinder and an air hammer get he retainer collar and the bearing off (without damaging the axle shaft) then remove the seal and the outer race which will still be in the housing. next put it all back together, make sure the plate with the studs is still on then slide the seal, bearing, then retainer on (all new parts) and using a press push them all the way back on. then is simple reassembly.
