I buggered a lugnut bolt. I got a new one. Removed the wheel, caliper and now I realize there is no clearance on the hub to get it out. If I unbolt the hub from the axle, will the hub come off?? How do I change the friggin bolt without taking the whole thing apart?

front or rear?
when my front one for ruined i was able to sneak it out
but it also took some patience and some dremeling of the bolt

Methinks you have to press the hub out of the bearings, unless the whole hub bearing structure unbolts from the trailing arm. I forgot how they are set up. Perhaps this reply is useless. **shrug**

Are we talking about the fronts? If i recall correctly, only the rear hubs come off when the center nut is removed. The front hubs have to be pressed out of the knuckles.

its the front one. I guess I could cut the light metal dust cover and dremel the bolt down a bit. What a pain in the butt. So if I unbolt the axle the hub has to be pressed out?

oh, ya, i was assuming rears. Front def press, rears bolt. He said something about axles, so ya, gotta press that mutha out.

Thats about the way I did it. Hate doing stuff like this. It reminds me of working on my old Fiat that I found myself going at it with a sawzall to get to the heater core that was leaking...................... I hated that car.

Here it is. Sitting above is the $#^%#@# that caused me to do this and the new stud installed. I just tore the shield apart. Hope this holds at 140mph :lol:

Back in my cavalier days I used to just grind a small part on the knuckle and a bit on the studs and I didnt have to take a hammer to the studs to get them to slide past the knuckle...They just slid right by without possible damage to the threads.

how did you tighten the bolt?
they are suppose to be pressed in

what i did was put the factory nut on it and turned the impact gun loose on it
then a little extra lovin from the breaker bar to make sure the new wheel bolt was seated nice and tight

 

[RamaCrx]

I just tightened it up with a the lug nut turned around backwards and a big x shaped tire wrench and it pulled right into place, nice an firm. I didn't use the air tool, since I wanted to feel that it got nice and snug.

I took mine out without removing the hub. Just grinded a little of the shield away, and pounded it out. Got the new one in by tightening it with some washers.
