SOB!!!

[Farrow2005]

so yesterday on my way to work. out of know were i hear a loud pop, and a funny knocking sound. not my motor!!! THANK GOD!! but some moron (not me just got the car about a frew months ago) over tightened the lugs. so 2 of the studs broke CLEAN!!! off, and the wheel was only being held on by the other two... (duh) but one of them was coming lose so it kinda losened up the hole and the wheel was beating it self against the other stud. O.o Its a 95 acura integra. do i really have to buy a hole new hub? or is there a tick to just replaceing the studs??? $160 for the hub thanks to acura who wont have it till middle of next week. or $1.98 a stud or if any one in or aroudn the greater Columbus Ga area got one for cheaps (had to go to the ER last week so kinda low on dough) PM me? i mean even if there is grinding involved what ever will make it cheaper for me.

you can just replace the lug studs, just have to hammer them out with an air hammer and then put the new ones in and pull them in with lug nuts and tighten the lug nuts till the studs are seated

[Farrow2005]

well see when i went to beat them out they got stopped by the spindle there is no way. i have the hole spindle off and in my house. im not SOL right now, i have a company car. but i dont wanna wait hole damn week to get this sh!t fixed


---edit---

would it be possable for you to go into detail on how to do This? cuz from what i hear(a friend who works for honda) they just replace the hole hub assably

[NAIZBST]

I know that I have replaced integra lug studs without replacing the whole hub but it is pain in the ass.....It may be easier for you to take the hub out which would require a press and it takes just a few seconds to do that...

[NAIZBST]

have you rotated the hub to see if you can get more room for the studs to come out, I know you have to rotate it back and forth to get them to come out...

[Farrow2005]

yeah, i have tryed. Hmmm. i guess i could make some calls. i know some one in toblot with a press. but that a 50 mile drive 2 ways. and i really dont wanna pay any more then i have to.... but this needs to be fixed. i have work in an hour. ill make calls then and ill repost tonight about my findings.

[Farrow2005]

OK, so there is a guy here in town. who has the spindle and all he said 40 for both side and i need both sooo. but im still going to take the other one to get pressed and stuff. and called acura and told them what they could do with there 130 dollar hub.

[NAIZBST]

cool

[Farrow2005]

+1 thanks for the INfo, and listenin to me rant.

[tubby]

your gona replace the wheel bearings too right? i hope soo

[Farrow2005]

yes, i gots them. had them for like months. them were only 40 per side

[wrekonize]

i've changed some on my buddies dc integra and that not hard just take the hub out and bang the studs out and put the new ones in. remembering to use the air gun to put the bolts up so it dont spin..and just put the hub back together..it take me about 30 minutes to replace whole thing so if you live close to clayton county i wouldnt mind helping you out

[Farrow2005]

i live in columbus, GA, but im off tomorrow. i got the part off n stuff and the studs i would love the help. but, go ahead and Pm me your numb and ill have to give you a call.

[allmotoronly]

remove the hub from the spindle (using a press) and tap the studs out with a hammer and an old socket or something that is smaller than the hole. Or, you could take the whole hub to a shop (other than acura) and ask them to press the pieces apart. Bring the studs with you, as well as a hammer, and a punch. Tap the old studs out, Then put the new studs in, tap them in from the back using a punch or something that won't damage them. Then have the shop press the hub back on to the spindle. I did this once and the shop charged me $10 to press the hub and spindle apart and then back together. I removed the studs and put in the new studs in the parking lot because the guy wanted $15 extra to do that.

[Farrow2005]

LOL, Thanks., pretty much got every thing in order. should all be done tonight.

[Farrow2005]

Ok, so new bearing was 32, normal 40ish but i work at advance auto at night and on weekends so Yay!
but all the shops around town were trying to charge me 50 and 60, i found one shop Hobbs he said 40 and he would put the studs in... still kinda lame. i couldnt find/get ahold of any friend that had a press. so next pay check im buying one. if any one would like to use in or around the columbus area, all i ask is for a six pack of PBR then you can press your till you can press no more.

[JDMef88]

if possible and u cant do it, find some way to take it to sears, they did my two lug stem change for 40$- thats just my 2 cents for u- hope ur problem is fixed!

[Farrow2005]

Ok, so every thing is Fixed but now i got a new problem.

my maintenance light flashes on startup, and when im at a red light and Only in a Drive gear my car like skips/hickups does not do it in drive. purrrs like a kitty kitty. and it dont do it driving normaly. also, i need new front break pads. guy helping me pressed my caliper piston back in with break pad still in place with a C clamp... like a noob. i dunno. i need help its not only and a to b car, but i also have to make runs in it for work. pick up laptops/printers/and other computer related items....

(i work 2 jobs, NSI beck and associates, and Advance auto.)

[Farrow2005]

Ok, maybe i should make a new thredd?

[AnthonyF]

^the maintenance light is no big deal. just figure out how to shut it off. It comes on in intervals set by the dealer.

So the guy pushed the caliper piston back with the pad you are still using? I would prob say get new pads.

when ur at a red light in D, does the steering wheel shake or you can actually hear it misfiring?

[Farrow2005]

no shake in the steering wheel. well, like the car kind of just acts like its going to die... like a bad idle. timing might need to be advanced a little. i know normal idel speed for Ls is 700, GSR/Type R is 900, mine seams to right at 500 on the cluster. and yeah, going to get some new pads. there a must now. my friend wants to ajust my Valves but i dunno if i want him. not saying he doesnt have a clue at what he is doing, just i dont want him to mess somthing up and me get really Fudging pissed off.

[AnthonyF]

have you done anything to the timing to make it come off time? If not, then that prob isnt your prob. A car doesnt typically come off time for no reason. Maybe a vaccum leak, or faulty idle control valve/sensor (if your car is equipped with one).

I did my valves, if they arent perfect you can bend all your valve and say good bye to your head. I would adjust them...just get a ASE tech to do it or the dealer.

he just said Thank you. thats all.


No problem btw. you idle could be affected by many things. if u have the time and money do it yourself. If you dont have the time and have the money, go to a pro, they will figure it out.

[Farrow2005]

i have time, and no money... well, ill have some money, after i sell a computer.
