Hi all,

 

Does anyone know howto change the wheel studs on a '98 Daihatsu Sportrak?

 

I've managed to strip one thread on the rear and shear a stud on the front!

 

 

I not to good with cars!!!

 

Thanks a lot,

Sion

Never worked on a Sportrak, but wheel studs are mostly splined into the hubs. A blow from a hammer will usually knock the stud out. Then, if there is maneuvering room, you can feed a new stud in from the rear of the hub, locate it on the splines and pull it through with the nut and a few washers. Finish it off with the wheel when it's through enough to get it on. At worst, the hubs may have to come off to press the studs out, or get enough room to fit the new ones. To avoid any more damage, find out the torque setting for the wheelnuts and tighten them to it.
