he was changing the rotor i need to see away to take the lug studs out

[tommi]

well that shows u how to take things apart does it not? u have to take the rotor apart from the bearing, to get to the lugnuts.

[accordboy2011]

alright so you have two moronic responses..one from a teenager and one from an egotistical moron. Why the responded with a ' umm NO ' and ' Have fun' is beyond me but I'll help you out.

Okay so two out of four is bad..but.

You didn't explain specifically which section it was...front or rear.

If it's the front you're going to have to do more work but it's fairly straight forward if you have hand tools. It's time consuming but I'll explain it.

To remove it from the front:

- Remove the caliper and hang it off to the side NOT dangling by the brake hose (you can do damage to it).

- Remove the 32mm axle nut

- Pop the lower balljoint off using a pickle fork and baby sledge hammer

- Slide the axle from the rotor and knuckle assembly and swing the whole assembly to the side.

- Take the baby sledge use an socket extension to drive out the old stud.

To install it on the front:

- Position the new stud in the hole

- Use the hammer and extension to drive it in

- Reinstall wheels and torque them to 80 ft lbs. The lug nut will basically snug the studs in place.

I hope this helps. It's not hard..just time consuming.
