How To Replace Broken Wheel Studs (Andy’s Garage: Episode - 402)

Andy Phillips shows how to easily replace a broken wheel stud. These can break when lug nuts are too tight and pressure is needed to remove them. Driving with less than the amount required is dangerous; replacing them is needed.

Very clear instructions with warnings about what to be careful of along with explaining why we need to be careful of that. Very helpful!

[halamish]

Very good explanation
The problem is usually caused by places that repair punctured tires that over tighten the wheel nuts

Thanks for the instructions broke a stud and was worried I'd have to replace the entire wheel hub 😅

This man just saved my life, snapped a stud doing a rotation and guess I didn’t know my own strength. Suppose I might need to invest in a torque wrench thingy

LIKE THIS VIDEO TOO MUCH ... I BROKE MINE TODAY AND I WAS SCARE, AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO.... I'M A MAN AGAIN.... THANK YOU SO MUCH ... SEE YOU AGAIN ... ❤❤❤❤

Great job as always. I always use a c clamp prior to removing the caliper. Makes it easier when it is still installed on knuckle. just a little push is all you need. Great video, nice & clear & to the point.

I liked your really quick and informative video on how to install a wheel stud. I also appreciate the camera angles.

Gonna be doing this repair in the coming weekend. You took all the guess work out of it. Thanks for the excellent post.

Thanks man I just had this problem took it to the shop. The guy tried to tell me it was gonna be every bit of $450. But I knew in the back of my mind that was crazy. He said it was a lot of labor involved . What’s the deal with some of these mechanics nowadays .
Thank you so much for the video.

Great explanation! Cherry on top was the 2nd angle of the wheel stud going through the back of the hub!
One thing that really caught my attention was using the rotor as a spacer to get the stud through. I would recommend using a bolt or thick washer of some sort rather than the rotor. Id be surprised if they had as much strength on the hub mating surface.

No way it was that easy, i thought it would be more complex 😅 thanks for the video man

Perfect Detailed yet simple video illustration close up!! Amazing job. Thanks so much now I can replace my broken stud on my 2002 Toyota Avalon.

best tutorial I've ever seen! crystal clear and no shitty background music

[Robert-wsl]

Bro you are awesome! Thank you so much all the mother videos was having me do all kinds of crazy removal that clearly is unnecessary

[shawnlytle]

Great explanation. I have to go rent an impact though tomorrow so I can finish this. The 2 bolts holding on the bracket (not shown in this video) are being absurdly difficult to take out. Damn bolts won't even budge after WD-40 so impact will make a persuasive argument it can't refuse.

[hedonisticpunkvatos]

Nobody mentions using the rotor as a spacer to help pushing it through. Thanks!

[occocaubai..]

YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST ... THANKS AGAIN ...

[sergio]

Thank you for the video! Thought i was dead in the water!

[hellomrwilson]

I hope my '72 corvette rear wheel has the clearance provided to remove and install a broken lug! Great video!

[pyeh]

Thanks for making it look so easy. Indeed, it is a great video cutting to the chase.🙏🙏
