Drive axle studs

Man i just bought a couple inside wheel studs and they were 3 bucks each. You definitely need to find a new parts store.

 

whenever i have had that happen i just put a little loctight on the studd and run them back in, use a 1/2 impact and give them good 2 second rattle.

 

Im going to lighten things up a little bit.

I had a relative whose in need of some anonymous. He had problems with bolts in his vehicle. And went and bought a couple bolts. Just enough to replace some bad ones that broke while he was changing tires and rotating wheels. (It's a van...)

Disregarding my advice to purchase enough bolts for the entire vehicle at something like 6 to a wheel, he proceeded to break some more, approx half going back on. break break break. Back to the bolt shop he went.

I do a little bit of loctite which is pretty modern compared to what was out there in the past for the bolts these days. Not too much. Old bolts out, new ones in, especially if old shows rust.

 

Soak the nut & threads in PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench let sit overnight. Double nut the other side of the stud. Put a wrench on the nut nearest the rusted on nut and remove nut. Clean the threads with a wire wheel. Reinstall with Loctite on threads that go in the hub (like others suggested). I've had good results using the gray permatex/silicone, it's made for high pressure applications. Your good to go.
