Note that the process may require removing the wheel hub entirely if there isn&rsquo;t sufficient clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The More Lug Nuts, The Merrier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing a new wheel stud takes a physical toll on lug nuts. The installation process wears out the lug nut, rendering it unusable for multiple installations. When you replace a stud, you must also install a new nut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get at least two lug nuts for every wheel stud you need to replace. You want to have spares handy in case you need to remove and reinstall the stud again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Punch Damaged or Stuck Wheel Studs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wheel stud heads can wear out over time, which makes it more difficult to remove them. Alternatively, the entire head can break off the rest of the stud. Damaged, worn, or missing wheel stud heads prevent wrenches from getting a good grip on them, making their removal more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can often hammer stuck but otherwise intact wheel studs through the wheel hub. Put some penetrating oil on the stud to get it unstuck. In many cases, the lug nut is the only thing keeping the stud in the hub under normal circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a broken wheel stud, apply the hammer and punch to force it through the flange. Try to drive the stuck stud past the splines in the flange. The splines on the wheel stud and flange stop the stud from rotating in the hole. It becomes easier to remove the stud once you get it past the splines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the wheel stud intact but stuck because of corrosion? Strike the stud with a hammer to dislodge the accumulated rust on its splines. Keep hitting the stud until you clear the splines and loosen the part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loosen the Lug Nuts Before Raising Your Vehicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you using a lug wrench to work on the wheel studs? Always loosen the lug nuts before raising your vehicle. Loosened nuts offer less resistance to the lug wrench, reducing the risk of damaging the nuts and their wheel studs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raise Your Vehicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before removing your old wheel studs, you must raise your vehicle with a car jack before setting up jack stands to keep it elevated. However, exert care when choosing where to set the saddles of the lifting equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vehicle&rsquo;s weight will press down on those spots, which might lead to damage if the parts supported by the jack and jack stands aren&rsquo;t strong enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove the Wheel and Drum or Rotor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lug-nut-replacement-804x1024.jpg\" alt=\"lug nut replacement guide\" class=\"wp-image-103935\" width=\"804\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lug-nut-replacement-804x1024.jpg 804w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lug-nut-replacement-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lug-nut-replacement-768x978.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lug-nut-replacement-150x191.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lug-nut-replacement.jpg 1178w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 804px) 100vw, 804px\"><figcaption>Remove the wheel and then remove the drum or rotor. Check to make sure you have the right stud, and that you have the proper amount of clearance to remove and replace the stud.

If you have room, go for it, using the instructions\/illustrations shown. | Image Source: Richard McCuistian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Your Hands on New Wheel Studs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/wheel-stud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"wheel studs\">wheel studs<\/a> are used to fasten wheels to a vehicle, it&rsquo;s important to make sure yours are on securely.
