Help! Broke a wheel stud...Need help with replacement!
Well I was taking off one of my slashed tires and a lug got cross-threaded and I broke off the stud.
This is on the back.
So I tapped out what is left of the stud, and it's loose, but I can't get it out. There is a gear lookin thing behind it and I can't get the stud piece out past that. And I sure can't see how the new stud is going to fit in there past that.
What am I missing???
Please help me out here!
Thanks,
Eric

Same thing happened to me when I over-torqued the wheel stud. This was back when I torqued my wheels w/ an impact gun (BAD IDEA). Since then I now use a torque wrench.
Anyway.. you should be able to hammer out the old one and it SHOULD just fall out. You might want to yank the brake rotor for more clearance.
Anyway.. just slide a new one into place, put the rim on, torque down the wheels properly and the new stud should pull itself into place.
If you don't like that idea.. what I would do is pull in the new stud, put 3-4 washers over it, put the lug nut on and tighten it w/ a regular ratchet/socket combo. It should be snug into place. Then remove the washers, put the rim on, and proceed to the paragraph above.

You need to take the axel out and then replace it.
good luck
I've been staring at the exciter ring's blue print on the 2005 F-series luckily we had the forsight to position it to where you can remove it without removing the axel.
edit:
please email me info regarding those headlights
