Re: Replace front axle lug bolts
 

bet you have lug nuts that are like caps.... i had these on a 83
mustange years ago and they just about all broke off.... went to an auto
parts store like Car Quest and the guy handed me the four i needed.. it
had a stamp on the center of the stud that was "R" i asked him if that
meant Right and he said yes.. i then told him it was for the left hand
side of the car.. he laughed and said that it was for right hand
thread.. he told me that they were all the same except for the ones that
are marked "L" for left... i got a 2001 civic and have the cap type nuts
also.. you got to be careful with the guys at the tire shops they put so
much torque on the nuts that to get them off with the little tire wrench
we have you cannot remove them.. when you turn the wrench it is not
turning, but pushing down or up and not being driven in a complete
circle ( i think the term would be not concentric??)... get a good cross
shaped tire tool and you will not have any more broken bolts..
you can probably go to any old time auto parts store(not the auto zone
or the pep boys or advance auto parts)... and get them, pretty cheap,
when i got them they were like 50 cents each(some years ago)........
i would take a look at the back of the rotor to see if you have an open
space behind there that you can turn the wheel to and then just hit them
out with a large hammer and a punch.......

Re: Replace front axle lug bolts
 

Eric,
I found the link http://www.federal-mogul.com/ ... link via google for
"97 accord rotor" when I was working on that car a few months back.
I played with the federal-mogul link and could not find any index and
gave up.

The link that you posted would help the fellow who needs to replace the
lug studs by showing the exploded view of the 2000 civic much better
than the one I posted as that link was for a different year accord. At the
time I posted, I didn't not know which "rotor system" the 2000 civic used.
But your other post cleared that up. I hope that honda would be sadistic
enough to require removing the hub just to replace the stud.

OK, I found an index for the Federal Mogul PDFs,
http://www.federal-mogul.com/cda/cha...2_5103,00.html

Most of their info is for domestic cars but there are a few listed for
Hondas. There are also a few general purpose technical documents which may
be of interest to some folks.
