Broken wheel stud........pls help

[jockomikey]

One of the wheel studs is broken on my 87 GN. Does anyone know the size of the stud I need to order? Is this a repair I can do myself? If so what is the typical procedure. Thank you in advance.

12x1.50 stud. take wheel off and for rear take the drum off and hammer the old stud out if front take the caliper off and the rotor off and hammer the stud off. then with a open lug and 3 washers to fit over the knurled end put the stud in the hole and the washers in the outside of the rotor and put the open lug nut on backwards then wrench til it draws the stud in so it bottoms out.

The studs are pressed in. It might be possible to hammer out. But it might be easier to do off the car.

On the front, removing a rotor to work with isn't too hard. On the rear...pulling an axle is a bigger deal. Opening the center section, removing the retaining bult, pulling the pin, then the center clip, then the c-clip for that axle, then that axle...

Not trying to scare you, but something like this can be a pain. Which end is it?

It's in the rear. Thanks for the help. Mike.

Easy job I have replaced all of the studs on the rear of my car, no need to pull the axles they will hammer out pretty easy and use a impact for the new ones. You shouldn't have any problems at all.
