rear wheel studs.

whats the best way to remove rear wheel studs, I've got one broken (right rear) and one striped (left rear). PO must have been a ham fisted boob. I was gonna rotate my wheels today but I'll have to deal with this first.

I threaded a open lugnut (or just a nut) until it was flush with the stud. Then I hammered. Was this the correct way? Not sure but it certainly worked for me.

You may be able to push it out with a stout c-clamp.

thanks guys

I think i'll try the hammer trick first, I just got a new BFH (big effin hammer)!

Stop!

 

Its Hammer Time!

 

Heh, had to do it. Yep, BFH is the way to go. As Trogdor said, using a nut on the end helps with it too. Plus having a washer and open ended is needed to draw the new one on. Use grease and be very liberal with lube to get the new one to pull on.
