Stripped wheel stud in the rear  I took off the hub, Can I just hammer them out with a BFH without hurting anything? Im a little hesitant with using force on my jeep. Is there a safer or easier way to do this? |

I would think that pressing it off would be preferred? But thats just my .02 I've never done it before.

yup hammer it out...if you have the axle out put it on a vice or something on either side of the back of the stud and hammer them right out same with installing the new ones. if you arent taking the axle out you can use a 7/8 impact socket on the back of the stud and a good size c clamp to press it out. they arent in there with much of a press fit.

If you still want some info on those wheel studs heres a link that helped me out when I was doing mine: www.pavementsucks.com/tech/studs.phpJust don't forget to make sure your lug isn't stripped either! Mike |
