bibby>Chode Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) I have a 1998 Honda Civic LX. I broke a lug stud off the other day. I bought a new one, but cant for the life of me get the hub off. I know to remove the brake caliper/pads, then pop the bolt off, then the rotor should slide right off. i cant get a crescent wrench, or channel locks on it, so i am going to buy a 1\" 1/4 socket. so i can get a cheater pipe on that bitch. Then there are 2 screws, do those need to come out as well? I tried a Google search, but all i could find was on a prelude, and it said to drop the axle, and ball joints, and all that shit. Before i get much further, i need to know if my civic is the same way, and if so, I\'m taking it to the dealership. Here are some pics... BTW, i am also going to rust kill, and paint black all the rusted shit on the front two, and repaint the drums in the back. Before my new wheels get in. That is a flat head tip stuck in the indention on the hub bolt. Edited April 12, 2007 by bibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philip Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 i'm pretty sure you have to get an impact driver the one that you hammer and take off the two philips screws first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaxfire69 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ok you take the 2 screws out with an impact driver...One you hit with the hammer...Has a phillips head on the end of the impact driver...when you do that you can take your rotor off...The hub will still be there...There is a thin metal plate that is behind the hub and rotor assembly...It will need to come off..Now This is a pain to do...I haven't done it before...you might be able to use a center punch and punch out that old stud...Possible if you hold your mouth right. Now as far as getting the new one in you might have to remove your hub and get some one at a machine shop to press the other stud in there...You will have to try that out...Like I said...I have never taken a stud out or put one in so...I may even have one on my car that is broken...I think it is on the back wheel though...Anyway...good luck holla if I can help out..

zaxfire69 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 If you do have to punch that old one out...Use some wd40 or Knock her loose to soften and lube everything up...I have a Haynes manual and I am still looking in here...

bibby>Chode Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 i'm all out of WD, but I have some astroglide, think that will work? jk So the hub nut actually stays, and i unscrew the two screws to get it off? I have replaced studs on my old s10, and you just punch them out, and then back in. Takes some work, but it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
