Re: Avalon Wheel Stud Replacement

I ended up figuring out the neutral trick, but had already taken off the caliper, so had to put that back on, then take off again. The studs I banged out by turning them each at a time to the clear space in the back plate that looks to have been put there for that purpose, also how I slid the new ones in. A huge pain was holding the hub still while I cranked down to pull the studs in, the hub wants to turn. I did not feel good about re-engaging the transmission to prevent this. Any way around this? Some kind of T handle might have worked? Would have also been nice to have had good hard washers of the right size (12mm) to put under the lug nut I used to draw the studs out.
