How to replace a broken or stripped wheel stud/ lug stud on your Honda or Acura. This was filmed on an Acura TSX, but since most Acura’s and Honda’s are built similar it should be the same process. This workaround does not require removing the axle which is labor-intensive and cost-prohibitive.

So much bad info in this video. I hope you dont do major work on your car…
If I did this short cut at my work place I’ll lose my job
Remove the wheel hub instead it should make the job easier.
Yet it costs 345$ in a cheap shop on 2015 they are something else
Not proper but ok
U should just take off the 2 17mm on the brake caliper braket instead of the 2 14mm on the caliper….don't need to take off the caliper…
You showed an easy, time saving, low cost way to replace a stud. Very excellent video.
The thing is this cost about 3-10 $ instead of opening the locknut and be changing bearing. And like me, i dont have stuff for pressing a new bearing. which leads me to an "expensive" workshop. just for stud lug change.
If you have an older car, I would have done it like this. But if i had a newer car il maybe have left it at the workshop.
Would it be easier to install the stud by removing the wheel hub?
Dude….you cut WAAAAYYY too much off of that stud
$150?… try $400
Poor engineering by Honda.
Big thumbs up man!
nice! soon youll be realising ur wheel bearings in this hub is fucked up! beating n hummering hub assembly like this gives damege to ball bearings and its channels in hub.. You should remove the hub assembly and than remove those studs.. also cutting all this meat out from the new stud and hub is not safe..
Dude thanks.. doing this when I get!!!
This happened to my TSX a while ago. Gonna replace the whole wheel assembly with MOOG a part all around.
