Hilux Wheel Studs

[hiluxman]

ive snapped 2 front wheel studs on my hilux 4x4 does any one know how to get the chrome 4x4 drive hub off so i can get to the studs! surely it can be done otherwise you can't change the brake discs either?

diagrams would be nice

Just undo the 6 nuts that hold the hub on, then you need to remove the bearing and nuts.

thats the problem i have took the black and red switch off then when i undo the nuts on the chrome hub it won't come off there seems to be some sort of washer holding the chrome hub to the threds where ive took the nuts off a toyota fitter told me to hit the hub to knock the remiaing bolts out but this hasn't worked any ideas

i heard there are 2 holes you insert a bolt in and screw them in, this in turn forces the hub off. ???????????

will give it a go but does anyone really know the answer to this one?

Use the 2 bolts to put pressure on the hub, also give it a whack with a BFH, then undo the bolts and give it another whack, the cone washers should come out if you do this a couple of times, if not get a small drift or blunt screwdriver and tap the washers.

Dont get too close to the hub, because when the washers go they do fly.

i hope you're right it's getting a bit long in the tooth but that is like what a toyota fitter told me but he wasn't sure cheers!
