Hi Guys,

I am halfway through replacing a snapped wheel stud. I have the new wheel stud in the hole and am trying to pull it through so it sits level with the other ones. I have put some spacers/nuts in between the wheel nut and the hub to help pull it through.

However when I tighten the wheel nut the whole hub just rotates!?!?!?! What do I do??? Read heaps of threads and they all say just tighten the wheel nut to pull the stud through. But I cant get any force because the hub just rotates.

I am trying to get ready for a track day tomorrow so any help asap much appreciated!!!

If you haven't already; Put the brake rotor on, and the caliper. Get someone to stand on the brake while you pull the stud through. At a pinch you can use a bar wedged against the brake and into the base of the seat frame . Obviously engine on, so you get the benefit of the booster.

Don't forget to lube the thread when you're pulling it in; you don't want to gaul the thread before you get to use it.

If you were changing it on the rear, yes. You may also be able to use a rattle gun, so you can push against the stud instead of pulling down on it. Be careful with a rattle gun, though, very easy to strip the stud.

This^^^^

I wouldn't use a rattle gun; you just don't have enough feel when you're tightening. It shouldn't be that hard to pull the spline of a new stud into the hub anyway; if it is, you've probably measured wrong.thumbsup.gif

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
