Howdy,

Is there an easier way to remove a broken rear wheel stud without removing anything other than the rear brake drum? This is on a 1994 Ram 1500. I started banging the crap out of the broken one trying to remove it while still on the truck, but no such luck. I guess I could spray some dubya on it and try loosin it. Anyone have any quick tricks?

 

Access to a torch..? Other than that pb blaster and a bigger hammer.

 

Everytime I went to NTB they would break a rear stud, then they would get the wrong size. I eventually just broke the lugs with my four-way so they would not snap a stud. They used a lug and washers to re-seat the stud, then threw the washers away. I have no idea how they got it out, but they left it on. I would assume NTB has a tool invented just for them that drives those out. Probably called, Imajackoff.

 

take the tire off and the drum. Hit the broken stud with a hammer and it'll come out. Press the new one in...

Just get a good hit on it and try not to glance off a mess up the two next to it.....
