The last Tacoma I put aftermarket wheels on at my shop, I was able to get a set of ET style lug nuts. I guess the ET stands for extended thread not extra-terrestrial. They have the 60-degree conical for the rim but the extended shank similar to a stock Toyota lug nut that fits inside the aftermarket wheel. I just realized that the lug nut you used to air hammer the studs out is an ET Lugnut.
I usually call them Studs, or wheel studs, but from this day forward they will be called Lug Studs! For install I used to also use stacked larger nuts, but now use Lisle 22800, which REALLY makes it easy due to the bearing design of the tool. Thanks for the video!
Yes!!! I saw another commenter mention that tool - I almost bought it but I've never had this technique go sideways on me, so never had a need to. But now I kinda want to try the tool just for my own curiosity !!!
@@FayeHadleyone good reason for having that tool is that it spins with the nut so if someone is doing this job and they don’t have a sacrificial lug nut for the installation they won’t ruin the mating surface.
Lug studs are the Zen of auto repair. I always enjoyed it. I used to have a drum brake tool(s), however, my son became an Audi tech and liberated it from the evil overlord of tools (me). One of my favorite memories.👍😂
Great video, Faye. I've done hundreds of wheel stud replacements and now use the Lisle Tools bearing for this job. It reduces friction and causes no damage to any parts. Keep up the great work. Love the chickens..
Ahhh I almost bought that!!!! Do you love it? Do you recommend I try it?! I just never had a stud replacement go sideways on me, so never had the need to try something new.....
Faye, I really love this tool. It's self-centering, so that's a plus on stud replacement. And the bearing in the tool reduces friction, making stud replacement a breeze. Lastly, it's not expensive either.
This is fascinating to watch! On our PTs you don't have a backing plate you can bend, but the steering knuckle is notched, so you can get the studs out one at a time. Wheels on my 55 Dodge, however, are a nightmare. They have lug bolts instead of studs, so you have to hold the wheel up and fight the bolt into the hole. And to make things more confusing, one side is left-hand thread and the other side is right-hand thread. So, lord help me if I mix up the bolts🤣. Needless to say, I'm very glad for the invention of studs. Thank you for filming this. You do great work! PS: One last quick fun fact. The brakes on the PT Cruiser are actually the same design as a K Car, like your friend Danny's Horizon!
Hey Faye, Great job I remember when I got my first Toyota I couldn’t believe that you could just crack the lug and it would basically spin off by hand all the cars I owned prior you had to thread them almost completely off with a wrench. Toyota just rules fan for life have a great one🐔🐔🐔👍
Back in the stone age I did this in essentially the same way with hand tools, naturally. Only a few threads engaged would certainly send me off to buy more suitable studs very quickly. I have no bravery when it comes to wheels potentially going their own way!
cant wait for your drum brake video, i got my first rear drum brakes on my 4x4 and ill need to do them sooner or later, hug your chooks for me, frozen vegetables peas / corn etc are great too cool chooks off if you have a really hot day
Hello Faye great video i have a funny story many years ago i had a brake job done on my 71 Charger. I got a call from the shop updating me on when it will be finished they told me the mechanic stripped the left side studs he never knew that left side lugs on a Dodge are left-handed threads.
I need to do the studs on tge front of my 94 c1500. I had to use spacers for my rims and need to do replace tge studs for more thread bite. Thank for the video on how to do it. Makes it easier to tackle the job. You are awesome.❤
Nice video! When I've done wheel studs, I've always just relied on tightening the wheels down to pull 'em through, but doing them your way is probably more sure. Now I'm looking forward to a nice video on replacing AC compressors... :)
Just to compare unique differences in Toyotas dealership training. You recommend using lube to reinstall wheel studs whereas I was trained by Toyota Australia to use medium strength locking fluid when reinstalling. Though I now have no association with any dealership, comparisons of techniques with other mechanics is interesting. Love your vids. Greetings from Woomera in South Australia. 👍👍🇭🇲
Oh, SO interesting! I see how the threadlocker could be a lubricant when used at first, for installation, then it hardens up after the stud is installed! Definitely sounds like a good method, too! I'd just hate to try to get them out if one broke!
@@FayeHadley Blue threadlocker is recommended. Never use red threadlocker unless you enjoy alternative forms of self torture! Ask me how I know......👍👍🇭🇲
You could use one of those C-clamp style ball joint tools to press those in, it's basically a portable press. You'll get it tight with no thread stress or snapping the new studs. I broke 5 on my Tundra they really don't like to be over torqued. I'm old school always did it by feel, the Tundra requires me to pull out the torque wrench.
Not a bad idea when you’re lubing the knurled base of the new studs to install them to also lube the threads too since it does take a lot of torque and pressure to pull those through and seat them. Just a little insurance against galling the threads on your new studs.
Great video, thanks! I had to do this recently on my Girlfriends Subaru. Dealership cross-threaded four lugs on two occasions. She’s never going back. It’s unfortunate that dumb actions for an oil change and tire rotation is losing them business. It’s not that hard to hand thread and hand torque lug nuts! :) then again of your favorite tool is an impact gun, you should use it everywhere, right? :)
We just worked on it last weekend, and I'm going there again tomorrow! I'm letting Danny produce most of the content, since it's his car, but we got a new fuel tank in last week and fired it up!!!!!!!!
A little bit different but I just replaced a broken off lug stud on my first gen Rav4. I never was a toyota guy but it sure is funny how getting one can turn you into one. Especially when you have 0 intentions of ever getting rid of the vehicle. Love this kind of content thank you for making it! Your birds are adorable!
Проще всего использовать просто колесо. Если смазать конус в колёсном диске, смазать гайку, то очень легко запрессовывать шпильку. Никогда не остаётся следов ни на диске, ни на гайке, если все делать правильно
Her mascara isn't even streaking in the human-induced climate change heat down there.......as Jim Carey would say.....its rrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssttttttttttttinggggggg!!!!!!!!!

Hope you're keeping cool with your heat over there,Faye!
I am most certainly NOT!! 🤣🤣🤣
Love your videos Fate 👌
Fast motion Faye is always worth watching!! :)

Studs and Chicks - the perfect combo ✌✌

That power hammer is nice, but you miss out on the zen of beating them out with a hammer to relieve some stress!
You got that right!🤣🤣🤣
🤣
I love the way you think things out ahead of time. Excellent tutorial.
Thank you!
Great video, very well explained and demonstrated. I liked you showed it was easy enough that most anyone with some mechanical aptitude could do it.
I really appreciate that!!

Same! I can't believe it took me so long to do this!!
Thanks Faye, I need to do this, a few of mine are stripped, just waiting for the junkyard to rotate the car I need 👍

The cool thing about this video... besides it being one of yours. Is I need to do this on my gen 2 tocoma. What awesome timing.
I like the way you got the lug studs out, options are nice. 😎👍
Wished you had been able to come this year,, ( PACNW Nationals Seattle 2023)
had to replace the studs on my LJ70 and the only way to do the front studs is take the disc off completely, good video
I need to do the studs on tge front of my 94 c1500. I had to use spacers for my rims and need to do replace tge studs for more thread bite. Thank for the video on how to do it. Makes it easier to tackle the job. You are awesome.❤
Good job Faye , Love your eyes ...
Hey Faye 🙂 You know that question that gets thrown around now and again " Size DOES Matter ! " especially in this case 😁
BAAHAHAHA
Time for a rear disc conversion
Thank you for the lesson! To the point which is appreciated! 🐔
Great video as always! Definitely need to get a hammer gun. Have a great weekend!

hi faye! from me in tacoma!
Great work, fyi air hammer in the uk is called an air chisel, love the music

Just pressed in 6 like u said. Didn't use lube.
Those are the same ones I used for mounting wheel spacers on a 1st gen Isuzu Rodeo for the same thread engagement reasons
Oh, interesting!!
Excellent
Faye's new book The Rules Do Not Apply People an anarchist's guide to auto mechanics 💯✌🤟🤘
I need to start writing this NOW!!
You are smart mechanic! And beautiful! I love your piercings!!
you need at least 1-1.5 x bolt diameter engaged in the nut member to achieve optimum joint strength
Great tip! These definitely fit the bill!! :)
@@FayeHadley :)
exciting to see you

Love the videos, keep them comming! Would you know the part number for longer studs on 2015 Tundra M14-1.50?
Matrix OE studs are massive compared to factory Tacoma!?! Crazy.
What up neighbor! NB
🎉 very usefull thankyou.

@@FayeHadley ; That's awesome news anything classic NASCAR related should be worth saving.
Hello from Hot Sunny Florida. Would you share the background music info?
Three thumbs up! The music oh so good who is it?
Is there any need to put a washer between the hub and the spacer nut to reduce friction? Or is it not damaging the hub face?
It isn't damaging - it's not that much torque surprisingly, but you absolutely could use washers instead of a nut/spacer, or with a nutor spacer!
How do chickens stay cool?

Lug stud? Don’t you mean wheel studs?
Not sure how Lug has any thing to with wheel mounting, since lug means to “struggle with a great weight”.
Google it! Lug stud is just another term for wheel stud, which I think is pretty apparent in this video.
I hate to be this guy, but geez just get a stud installer, they arent very expensive
Love you contents and platforms. You are amazing ❤
Thank you!
Good job very much helpful
HEY FAYE....You see the 2024 Tacomas yet? Thoughts? Im loving the TRD pro.
