REPLACING STUDS
LUG NUTS
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING STUDS
When a broken stud is replaced, the stud on each side of it should also be replaced. If more than one stud is
broken, replace all studs.
Use the correct stud.
If the correct length stud is not used, the back nut (jamnut) may not seat firmly against the drum.
Too much standout from the mounting face of the hub may make it impossible to secure the inner wheel
against the hub face.
In replacing studs, remember that right-hand studs go on the right-hand side of the vehicle and left-hand studs
on the left-hand side when facing forward.
