I recently had a cross threaded rear wheel stud/bolt in my hub. I got a replacement from nissan for $6aus ($2.70ish usa) and replaceed it by removing my caliper and rotor. (knocked it throught, inserted the new one, and screwed a nut on there to pull the spline through and into the hub. Worked fine..

Recently a front stuf has f*cked up too! *grrr*.. this is what happens when your a boy racer and you swap street to race wheels and back all the time :(

Now, I'm curious, will the front stud be just as easy to replace? Or will I have drama's? hope i dont have to remove the hub or knock the cv spline out or any crap like that.. I value my current wheel alignment settings...

Any advice? Thank you

Also, does anyone make stronger wheel studs/bolts? maybe longer ones too for running spacers to increase track in the car whilst racing?

Thanks, James

On the front take off the caliper and rotor. It will be cake after that.

You can find longer wheel studs over at www.nismoparts.com for our US B-chassis cars. Not sure if they're a direct fit on your Pulsar or not, but knowing Nissan, I have a feeling your car probably also uses 12x1.25 thread pitch wheel studs.

Good luck.

Excellent, I'll suss it out. Yeah the N14 is simular to the B' cars... hubs, brakes, suspension items, all very very simular :)

Old thread, but worth mentioning...

I once cross threaded a nut on a stud, and once was enough for me. Now I screw them until I see the stud if not all the way until hand tight. Then I grab the ratchet. Take a few seconds more, and avoid a lot of PITA.

I always go until all the way hand tight I never touch it with a tool until the wheel is flush up against the rotor, then it is just hand tight one lug at a time in a criss-cross pattern until tight. Then I drop the car down and torque to 84 ft-lbs
