Wheel Studs
Removal
1. NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may
result in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part numbers or equivalent part, if replacement is necessary.
Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make
sure correct retention of these parts.
NOTE: Make sure the steering wheel is in the UNLOCKED position.
Remove the brake disc.
2. Using the C-Frame and Screw Assembly, remove the wheel stud.
Installation
1. NOTE: Make sure to use washers that have an ID that is larger than the OD of the wheel stud serrations. Use enough washers (approximately 4) to
allow the wheel stud to fully seat against the hub flange.
Position the wheel stud in the flange, making sure the serrations on the stud line up with the serrations in the flange. Install the washers and a
wheel nut.
