Thank you, explaining to a lady friend what is being done to her Honda after some 'Lug' cross threaded a lug bolt, and the bolt had to be replaced. The new and improved mechanic is replacing all four studs while he has it apart. Your video made it easier for her to understand. 'Happy wrench turning to you Sir!'

I did just what you did, some basic modifications. Yours was the best description, thank you! I did a wheel bolt replacement on a 2005 Honda Pilot and its a very similar challenge. I cut away part of the dust shield, used my grinder to get the old stud off and cut enough of a new lane on the knuckle for the new bolt to go in with a new air rotary rasp/file.. I did also have to remove part of the head on the bolt so the bolt would angle in better. Had to use a thread file to clean up the threads after, but it worked pretty well. Honda really should design an easier solution for this.

This works on almost all Honda's made in the 2000s

Thank you for the video man I broke a stud and thanks to you I fixed it

Thanks for the video! I just cut my heat deflector wide enough to get the stud past since my shield was pretty solid. Should be fine as it has 4 or 5 screws holding it in. Only suggest I would add is to use a cut off wheel if one has it and to only take the brake bracket off with the brake caliper in one, saves a step.

I need to have a stud replaced on my 2006 Honda ACCORD EX just to get new tires put on at Wal-Mart, The dealership estimates it to cost around $400, $250 of that is labor. That's if I want it done by a professional. I had to have stud broken off by another tire shop so they could pull the tire to put a plug in it. Wal-Mart wouldn't plug it due to it being to close to the side wall. Walmart previously had rotated the tires a couple months back and they were the ones that over tightened the lug or cross threaded it in the first place. Hoping I can get Wal-Mart to reimburse me for it. Thanks for the video!

Very well done and to the point.

thaks a lot for your info is going to help me a lot...

Great video

Zip tie the brake caliper to something around the suspension so that way it is not putting tension on the brake line

Great video, Loved the commentary - that was funny stuff.

by filing the bolt it doesn't make it as durable anymore?

There no filing needed to do any part of the project. If you take the screws out of the dust guard spin it around to where you can get to the stud and if needed u can put your car in neutral where you can move the wheel hub where it will be in the right position the old stud comes out with one good hit with a hammer and the new one goes right in no problem without filing on your car

Fucking awsome video amd the roster in the background made it soo much better hahah love thanks all turned out fine

Makes sense to me! I've always pulled my studs in by running the nut down on the stud! Once the splines catch the stud don't turn. Why spend 40 bucks when you don't have to!

It seems grinding the edge of the stud flat is the norm for replacing them on Hondas, so why aren't the studs just made with the edge flat?

Gracias Buen video Yo use un hobby router para cortar el birlo nuevo

Several pointers. Don't knock the old stud out as far as he did in the video before cutting the head off. You don't want the old stud moving around as you cut it. Unscrew the dust shield using an offset screwdriver, then you can just move it around as needed and slightly push as needed when inserting the new stud. No need to cut or bend the dust shield. Also, just file the new stud flat on one side, but not as far down as the burl. The new stud doesn't need the second angle adding a taper in addition to filing it flat on one side. You do have to file a little on the car as shown, but not much at all, basically there is a little ridge you are just knocking down.

hey man cool video.. I recently had 2 of my stud shear off while driving down the highway (Idk exactly what happened but I had just put on the donut from my trunk and mustve of left the lugnuts too loose or way too tight.. Ive changed a tire many times before with no issue so its really confusing to me.) However.. I was told by my Honda shop, as well as a very respectable tire shop here in Bartlesville/Tulsa, OK, that on a 2003 Accord.. this fix is astronomical in price due to the fact that the entire hub has to be taken off and also something about once the bearing is removed it can't be re-used again. Now keep in mind.. I AM NOT A MECHANIC AT ALL. I know very little about cars and especially car repairs.. but when Im being quoted at a labor cost of $220 at BOTH the Honda dealer ( which they usually do quote high bc they only use Honda parts) but the other place is great and told me the same price.. they said even if I brought in 5 new studs and 5 new lug nuts.. it would still cost about 230 or so. After seeing this video.. it doesn't seem like a crazy repair. Do you know what they mean about the hub and bearing? The guy at the tire shop said this can usually be done for $60-80 and he was shocked when he ran the estimate and it came back so high.. However.. I got a coworker who works out of a garage on the weekends and even does the van fleet for the company we work for.. so he knows his stuff. He said he'd do it for 80 bucks but the other guys got me worried that maybe this is more confusing than my buddy realizes.. seeing as how it seems like a 03 Accord is just weird when it comes to replacing studs.. What should I do here man? lol.. this is my only car and it has to last me awhile and I don't wanna have someone just kinda fix it just to save a hundred bucks.. but if there is like a pressed in bearing on here or something that would also have to be replaced after taking off the entire hub and what not.. id pay the extra money if that would ensure no problems down the road. Any suggestions appreciated.

Ricky Kojdecki That’s a No.2 Phillips. No.1 is pointy, No.2 is flat, and No.3 is very large and flat across the top. Not all screws are made equal.

We're you just filing away at your parking brake?

Man they sure did not design this with thoughts of being able to replace the wheel studs, what a pain.

They wanted to charge me 470$ to do this at Firestone. I’m doing it myself

I have seen other people grind off stud heads too, but I wonder if this will throw off the balance of the overall wheel. The tire and rim are balanced with little weights, so this small removed amount may be significant.

Not a balance issue at all u gotta remember that the wheel weights are lead and much further from the center that being said this is absolutely the wrong way to do it for safety reasons

Hi, you should not have grinned the bolts head. You could just cut a little piece of the brake dust cover that way you could saved a lots of time.

Gina Mendoza that won't work. The wheel hub assembly is in the way. Either you use this hack or you replace the wheel hub and bearing as well as all of the studs. Sometimes Honda engineering is mind defying. Toyota has a cutout for just this issue and is a breeze to get out. To all out there send a complaint to Honda maybe with enough complaints they will change this dumb design which costs hundreds of dollars to replace.

HAHA ARE YOU SERIOUS DUDE YOU CUT PART OF THE BOLT INSTEAD OF REMOVING THE HUB..SMH

I'm in the same situation and with no time or money, there's no chances to be taken with breaking the bearing by having it pulled. This is what you have to do. I'm just worried about the balance being thrown off possibly.
