Replacing a rear wheel stud
Is there a simpler way to do this without ripping everything apart? Thanks in advance.

no there isn't but the job isn't that difficult either. Remove the 36mm nut, toe arm, 2 top suspension arms, and sway bar link. The bearing assembly with the studs is attached by three bolts. You can likely bang out the studs with a hammer at this point. Reinstall studs with a lisle stud install tool and an impact.

if you can do that then you are amazing...the bolts are almost completely shrouded by the axle shaft and the approach angle is not direct. It looks like a recipe for a rounded bolt if this isn't fully disassembled. I tried but it ends up being more efficient for direct access to fully disassemble.

Hub bolts: 96 lb-ft w/ locktite
Axle nut: single use and the washer (11611965) should be replaced. AllData says 185 lb-ft, folks on here say 199 lb-ft, w/ locktite

I replaced one side last weekend. I had broken a lug the weekend prior. It really was not too bad. I pulled the toe arm (I have an SPL), top two control arms, and used a three arm puller to push the axle back enough to get a wobble socket on my stubby mid torque milwaukee to remove the hub. replaced the studs with ARPs and reassembled. I did it over two days just because I was busy. Now I can likely do the other side on the rear in an easy two hours.
Waiting on new hardware was longest part of the endeavor. |

Do you need a rear end alignment after replacing rear studs?
