Found two stripped front wheel lug studs on the 97 I just purchased. Fixing is a bigger job than it should be because you have to take the rotor off the spindle (there's no room to knock the studs out otherwise). There's a smooth nut that holds the spindle on that requires a special two prong socket I couldn't find anywhere (so used a metal punch and hammer to remove). After cleaning and repacking the bearings (inner bearings requires a seal), you're supposed to torque the nut to 25lbs and then back off one full turn. Without the special socket I had to guess. So far so good.

Besides on work on my car mostly myself now n e ways. 4 example, all the minor and major stuff. O well, I don't trust dealers n e more. ARggggggg |
