Question On Wheel Studs..need Some Help Replacing!!!

[NOMIEZVR4]

alrite i am having a heck of a hard time chaning my lug nut studs. 3 out of the 5 broke off from the front driver side hub. now i have done this before on a 92 talon and i just had to take the brakes off and hit the studs with a hammer and they popped off..now i have got a 93 talon and when i opened up the brakes it seems liek there is a covering of some sort around the head of the studs? now i thought it was the same on all 1g's but i guess its not. how do i change the lug nuts studs?? i tried pounding on the studs and they wouldnt come out so before doing more damage i stopped. do i have to take the hub assembly out or do i just have to take that cover piece off some how??
thanks for the advice

Could you take a picture, because I can't figure out what you are saying. All you should have to do is put something behind the hub so when you hit the stud with a hammer, it doesn't get damaged.

if they are broke who cares if they get damaged. they might be a little rusted on so keep trying. i just did two studs on my car 2weeks ago. hit them with a hammer two or three times, they poped out. slide the new ones in, and i bought a regular nut for a car with steel wheels and a couple of washers to pull the studs in with. then your done.

Did it.....any help on the studs?

Thanks. Now, stop bumping your posts.

Hammer out the broken ones, pull the new ones in with nuts. What "cover" do you mean? The dust shield?

I meant so the hub doesn't get damaged. A heavy object behind it will obsorb some of the impact, it probably isn't as critical on front wheels but more for the rears since they are supposed to be in a fixed position.

Your car must have ABS, if so they are a pain to replace. I recently did mine. The front hub will have to come off, I ended up using a gear puller to do mine. Once the hub is off you remove the two 10mm bolts and seperate the hub. Then you can put it in a vice and hammer the old studs out. Do yourself a favor and replace all five while you're in there. They are only a few bucks at NAPA.
