To replace tire studs, start by removing the wheel and the brake assembly. Then, take out the hub to reach the old studs. Remove the old studs and insert the new studs securely. Make sure they are aligned properly. Lastly, reattach the brake components and wheel in reverse order for safe operation.
After removing the damaged studs, inspect the wheel hub. Clean any debris from the threads to prepare for installation. Take your new tire studs and align them with the holes. Push the studs through the holes from the back side of the hub. Secure them in place with a nut and washer. Tighten the nuts gradually in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure.
With the new studs installed, replace the tire and tighten the lug nuts to secure it. Lower the vehicle and double-check all connections. Regularly replacing tire studs enhances safety and performance.
