'95 Legacy LSi Sedan...

[Bill Pelka]

Greetings all,

Doing the brakes on my Legacy last night and I stripped the Wheel stud. I
was able to get the stud knocked out of the hub and picked up new parts at
the dealer tonight. I tried to get the stud out last night and with the one
side jacked up I could not get the stud out from behind the hub. I have ABS
brakes and the Tone Ring is kind of in the way. I wonder if there is a sweet
spot that I have to line up to get the stud out or do I have to remove the
axle nut and hub?

I guess that I can jack up the front, both sides, and try to spin the
wheels. Since this is AWD I might have to disable the AWD and go Front wheel
drive using/removing the fuse. That way I can spin the wheels and look for
the sweet spot. Has anyone else had this problem or have some insight?

Thanks,
Bill

If there is clearance equal to the the thickness of the hub, maybe you
could hacksaw the stud flush with the hub and then drive it through?

I dunno

Greetings,

I got the parts and called the service dept at the local dealer. He said
to set the parking brake, jack up the front wheel, put the auto transmission
into neutral. Remove the wheel and the brake caliper. Then pull the rotor
off. Remove the 5 small allen headed bolts that hold the tone ring (for ABS
speed sensor) Then just grab the hub and rotate till you get the previously
loosened stud to fall out. Pop the new stud back in and start the
reassembly. Once you get the rotor back on, put the lugnut on the new stud
and tighten some, just enough to get it to stay in the hub. This will pull
the stud into the hub. Continue the reassy and install the wheel. Tighten 4
lugnuts as normal to about 70 foot-pounds. The new stud will require more
turning and will need to be pulled in tight. Drive the car for about 5 miles
or so and then check torque. All is good...
