do you know how to pull a front axel hub from an integra?mansvoice 02-22-2007, 07:11 PM I just replaced all of the tires on my Integra (1994). My biggest mistake was buying them from Sears. In any event the installation guy cross-threaded the lug to the stud...oh yeah, he didn't tell me! I found out when I was travelling down the road and heard a tic-tick -tick...like you might hear when you pick up a nail. after checking the tire and finding no nail. I started to remove the wheel and found that 3 of the nuts came off easily and one was binding to the point I think it's about to break off (I believe that is the source of my ticking). In any event, I know it's on this forum somewhere, but I can't find it...Do you know how to "step by step" me through the removal process of pulling my hub so I can replace the lug stud?? Thank for your help on this one... really! n0superman 03-05-2007, 01:36 PM I have a factory service manual for my 91 teg, if you give me your email ill look for that section and see if i can email you a couple pages from it. Meanwhile, here's my experience with lug nuts: Ive replaced lug nuts on a 2000 toyota corolla (front) and a newer saturn (rear) and neither required removal of the hubs. I just had my integra apart and I cant remember but I think I noted that replacing the studs would be difficult. To actually pull the hub out you need special tools made for replacing bearings, and a vise. If you have to do this it is extremely difficult. If you can turn the hub to a point where you can bang the stud out the back it is very simple. n0superman 03-05-2007, 01:45 PM by the way, did you try getting sears to replace the lug nuts? I hate fighting with mechanics which is why I do everything myself now, but it might be worth a try. There is no excuse for cross threading 3 studs like that. They are supposed to thread them most of the way by hand before using the torque wrench. Yet somehow it happens all of the time. iVteC_PoWeR 03-17-2007, 07:23 PM from what i remember its just a couple of bolts and its off...just look around the hub and its easy to figure out vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
