Wheel stud replacement.

[iam99x]

94' Integra. I'm going to try the slide hammer trick, although I'd like to change it without taking the hub off. So I was asking was it safe to cut a small 1/2 circle out of the part that blocks to head of the stud.

One of the very first things my instructor told us was to never put the stud through, then tighten it down. I really can't remember why, but it's not safe from what I've heard. But, that's probably what I would have done if I didn't know better.

Thanks guys.

i really dont see what it would hurt using the nut trick, i've done it a bunch of times as well and yet has it bit me in the ass. however the cutting idea doesn't sound like a good idea or safe. but hey who knows you might have figured some new trick out
