I'm having to change my front hubs due to issues with my studs, long story. Anyway, how in the heck are you supposed to get the hub nut off. It has some sort of lock around 3-4 thin nuts. They don't seem to want to all come off at once. If you bend the lock back you cant get to the deeper nuts.

Anyone know the correct procedure??? Thanks. And BTW, I searched first and found nothing. . .

I've never done that but try looking in the manual. It should be in there.

You should be able to replace just the studs. At least that's how most of them are set up. If you have a broken stud, just hammer it out and use a lug nut to seat the new stud.

Well, my problem is that my hubs were drilled out to have bigger studs put in them for some reason. Then they put the factory studs and wheels back before they sold it. So, the studs would not seat in the holes at all and was very dangerous to drive like it was. The car only had 5k and is in excellent condition, no way it was a track car so I dk what the heck they were thinking. But, bottom like, I have to change the hubs.

Come to find out the lock nuts are single use only and I bought 2 at O'rilleys for $9 each ($15 at autozone, btw) I've got the job done now, but WOW what a pain to get those off. . . .
