Wheel Studs, rattle guns and the nuts that use them

[Cowboy Dave]

I took him to mean use it with a socket?

A 2ft Snap on breaker bar with a deep impact socket or the K&I electric rattle gun from 4WD Action freeby pile....

I've just snapped a stud after changing brake rotors. Is it easy to replace one, or is it a dealer job?
Thanks

[baito]

I've replaced them on a hilux before, wasn't too hard, can't remember if I had to remove the hub but the new ones just pressed in by tightening the nuts onto them

[Cowboy Dave]

Hardest bit will be getting the old one out. Part numbers for front and rear are here somewhere.

Easy as.
Pretty much as Baito described except you shouldn't have to remove the hub.
It can be a little difficult to manoeuvre the stud into place. You may have to rotate the rotor around to get the angle.
If your local mits don't have one in stock.....try Bursons as they supply them too.

Club hammer with elbow grease...! If that fails, try a Sledge...

I didn't say it would be hard, just hardest...
