So I broke off a wheel stud from each of my rear wheels at the end of my suspension install this weekend. Everything else went smoothly though. Any tricks to replacing them or is it remove caliper/rotor, knock out the old one and insert the new one? Then just use a lug nut to draw it into position right? I dont think I've actually ever taken the rotor off the rear? Is it different than the front? And do I need to do anything more with the e-brake than take the end of the line out of it's bracket thing?

Thanks for the help guys.

just leave the e bake off....take off the caliper, the bracket...rotor..hammer out the stud..and pull in the new one with a lug...ive done em liek 3 tiems on mine[:@]

 

2 bolts for the caliper and 2 more for the bracket right? I've never taken it off in the rear.

 

Yup. Same as the front as far as the caliper removal, IIRC. I had to replace 2 studs the other night at the track. From the time I stripped them out, hitched a ride to Advance and got them in was less than an hour.

 

Here's a link to a helpful thread https://mustangforums.com/m_3698976/tm.htm

there's some pictures at the bottom that show what's behind the rotor once you get it off. You'll need to lube the stud up a little bit, but it'll pull through easy enough past the abs ring and through the hub. buy the stud and an open ended nut with a flat edge to pull the stud through.

 

worked perfect! Thanks guys!
