SOURCE: Changing Rear Rotor Studs

These studs are 'pressed' in at the factory, and really should be replaced by a professional.
At the very least you would need a shop press and/or apowerful air compressor and impact gun.
First, are they in the rotor or the hub. (I don't know if this is a4x2, 4x4, etc.) If they are in the hub itself, this MUST be done by a professional. If they are in the rotor, I would seriously consider replacing the rotor, which in some cases can actually be cheaper.
If you don't want to replace the rotor, please take it to a qualified mechanic, parts store (some do this type of work regularly), or machine shop.
Although I could describe how to do it, an improperly seated wheel stud could have tragic consequenses. Good Luck!

How to take a spare tire off gmc envoy 2004

Since the spare is mounted under the rear of the car, Its not easy...you have to assemble the long crank rod out of its two pieces, then feed the rod through the hole in the top of the rear bumper and lock it into the mechanism that holds the tire in place. Once the crank rod is locked in, lower the tire towards the ground. Once the tire is low enough, you can crawl under the car and release the tire from its mount. The hardest part is locking the crank rod into the spare tire mechanism through the hole in the bumper.

Rear wheel locked shortly after changing flat tire on 2001 e320

Take the tire off again, and then put it back on, after checking to make sure the wheel will spin without the tire on it, and without the parking brakes on. Make SURE THAT YOU BLOCK THE TIRES SECURELY TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ROLLING WHILE IT'S JACKED UP IN THE AIR.

What would it mean to have a vibration thats almost like im gonna say a flat place on a tire

You have a warp in one of the steel belts inside your tire. Sorry but there is no fix for this except replacement. It is strongly advised that you replace "both" front or rear tires as a pair for they have been in service the same amount of time and will surly do the same thing down the road a bit. Thank you, Dana P.S. It is to your best advantage to change these tires asap for this can progress to a very dangerous situation very quickly.

Flat spots on tire

This could be one of three things , either you have an alignment issue , bad suspension parts or just the lack of tire rotation. If the flat spots are at an angle from outside edge to inside edge then the problem is with your rear struts. If the flat spots are either on the out side edge or inside edge then the you have an alignment issue. If the flat spot are consistent all around the tire then you have a tire balance issue or bad rear struts.

Rear wheel

does the van shake or vibrate? does the van have tires on it ?start by switching the left rear with the right rear test drive and listen for soun if no sound then the tire has a bad steel belt replace tire if the sound is still present. jack up van and spin tire if no sound is heard replace wheel bearing and if there is still a sound look into brake drum for possible springs or clips that may have fallen into drum causing noise but i would say its more than likely the rear wheel bearing to change that u must buy a new bearing and follow instructions on replacing good
