ivanlrlukic Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hello everybody, just after purchase I manged to break one of the hub studs and for last two years I'm driving on 4 studs only ('92, 110, 200tdi). Now I've been offered new old stock hub. I wonder is there a way to check if it would fit my car without stripping hub from car and comparing directly? Regards, Ivan.

chadler Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Do you mean you've snapped one of the wheel studs? If so then why not just remove the hub, bash out the snapped stud and fit a new one or one from your replacement hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 just replace the busted stud, a lot quicker than changing the complete hub, stud is item 10 in http://lrcat.com/#31/4/52627 FRC6137 http://www.lrdirect.com/FRC6137-Wheel-Stud-90-110-To-La930456-94/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanlrlukic Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Is it possible to remove broken stud without special workshop tools (press...)? Any advice how to do it and what tools to use? In case it is not complicated I would replace all studs on this hub because their threads seem to be a bit stretched (overtightening?).

ivanlrlukic Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks Pete3000, in this post (and several linked to it) I've learned that stud replacement could be done with hub on vehicle (am I right?). But I wonder would hitting studs with hammer damage oil seals? In topic http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=34407&hl=ruf000020 several p/n are mentioned related to different studs. Most of them share same dimension M16x1.5, 39mm. I wonder can I purchase any of the mentioned p/n since one that suits my vehicle (FRC6139) seems least available?

pete3000 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 hubs can be left on, but drum needs to come off, doubt you'd damage the oil seal (or wheel bearing) but it's not much more of a job cost wise to check renew anyway while you are there. Use a brass drift and lump hammer. get the drum off by taking the slotted screw out then wind a bolt into the other hole to press the drum off. Be careful though it may not be a metric thread, i.e don't go nuts at it, it should go 5 or six threads before it stops and you need to give the bolt more pressure to release the drum. Different part numbers relate to the length or what they are now called, different numbers FRC5926 is same as RUF00020 and 40mm FRC6137 is 45mm FRC7577 is 60mm P.S to pull them back in use a socket and large washer and wheel on backwards to wind them through, the studs are splined so you should be able to line them up roughly when you push them in.
