and list of the step would be great and info on whether not i need to have them pressed in would help also

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING and thanks for your time

 

Remove the wheel then pull off the brake drum. Reinstall the lug nuts on the lug studs just a few threads. Take a mini hand sledge and whack the stud with the lug nut on until it pops out the back. Take your new studs and put them in. You don't have to have these pressed in. What you have to do is put a lug nut on the new stud and tighten it. That will pull the stud through until it is seated properly. I did it this way on my jeep a few times.

 

Studs are on the bearing assembly. I would strongly recommend not trying to beat them out.
Bearing/sensor damage can/will result.

To do it right you'll need to press out the fronts and use a ball joint press for the rears.

Front hubs come off to do it, rears can be done in place after removing the brake drums.

Heat and hammering can easily damage wheel bearings if done wrong. See below thread for a prime example. Replacing a $5 wheel stud can morph into a $500+ repair bill.

I have the same problem as the OP. I'm not quite sure I follow what you are say. So you are saying to take the front brakes, then take off the rear? I also don't follow about the 'ball point press'. Is this a certain type of tool that I can find at a auto store? please elaborate more

 

I don't really see tapping them out being an issue. At least it wasn't for me when I changed mine a couple of years back. One or two hits and they came out like butter.

 

DIY with picture I came accross DIY Replacing Wheel Studs, step by step Pic's - D-series.org I actually had to replace broken studs on my Corolla. I was stupid enough to use cheap open end lug nuts one year and froze on and rusted due to the winter.

 

remove drums, then remove the hub



then remove stock studs with a hydraulic press, and install the extended studs, done!
