tire stud

[Blazer69]

recently snapped off a front tire stud driver's side...how rough are they to change/replace....my rear was easy when i broke it not sure about the front though.....when i do replace it should i just replace all 5 while i have it apart or leave the rest as long as they are fine?....

You change them the same way. If one broke Id look at the others for wear and cracks and if I didnt see any, toss a coin, heads or tails since I was allready ready to change one!!

Like MASTER said,it's up to you.Me i would change the all to ARP studs if i had the $$$

well i ask becuz my rears i was able to simply slide the new stud in behind the drum without taking anything off but the tire....

you'll have to remove the disk. It's easy. 96 should be the same as all the rest so.....

unbolt the calliper and tie it back then remove the grease cap, remove the cotter pin and then remove the spindel nut. This is a good time to check,replase if need and, repack your bering. If you have to replase your bearing you will have press the races out and back in so make sure the rotors are worth the money. If they need the be returned or replased this is a good time to do it. The local napa does this for us down here, so you may want to call around the parts stores to see who does it in your area.

knock the old stud out and replase it with a shiney new arp stud(cheaper than factory oem)
