How do I remove front broken wheel lugnut studs?

Aug 20, 2007 6 Replies

I have the caliper and rotor off and cant bang the broken stud through because it hits the wheel hub. Do I have to remove the hub. If so is it just the large nut in the middle? Thanks:)

What kinda car? What year?

Depends entirely on model and year. May help to know if you have ABS also.

Geez...dont know what I was thinking:) It is a 1998 honda civic 2 door. I got as far as taking caliper and rotor off. I then removed the large axle nut but nothing happened. I know somehow I have to remove the hub assembly?(part the holds the lug studs) because I cant bang them through as I have done in the past with other cars. With this car the rear of the studs will not clear the back piece in order to remove them... Thanks!! :)Nate

Here's a link to a factory service manual for a '98 Civic Aerodeck,

. The front hub assembly may be similar toyour '98 2 door.

Hello Eric, Thanks so much but my dumb webtv could not open the link. I looked at the Haynes manual and it had no mention of it either...wow. Thanks again Eric :)Nate

The link is to a pdf file. You'll need a pdf reader, e.g., Adobe Acrobat or something else, to view the file so you may need to use a computer to download the file and open it. I really have no idea what you may or may not be able to do with webtv.
