Raycaster Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 I have a broken wheel stud passenger rear side. I replaced a broken stud a few years back on a windstar and basically punched the stud out and tapped new one back in, 30 minutes. I was getting lazy and asked a garage to do it and they say the 2016 Ford Edge sel requires the hub to replaced as there is no room to replace stud. I highly doubt that and will probably just do the job myself this weekend but can anyone confirm this? Thx ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 Curious, how did you break it? - need a torque wrench? Sure the 2016 is the same - maybe @Haz can confirm FRONT SUSPENSION.

Raycaster Posted November 15 Author Report Share Posted November 15 It was cross threaded from a shop that replaced a tire pressure sensor in the spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieHudson Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 I had to have a rear stud replaced on my 2010 SE. They were able to remove the parking brake assembly, cut off part of the stud and then punch it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 Per the 2016 Edge Workshop Manual, Wheel Studs are a replaceable part in Front & Rear hubs... Good luck!

Raycaster Posted November 17 Author Report Share Posted November 17 I feel like columbo here…. 1 last question. The mechanic is stating hub removal basically requires new bearings… I just remember on the windstar it was as simple as rotating the hub to open backing that had room for it to be punched out and inserted.

Haz Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 (edited) Regardless of this Wheel Hub's AWD descriptor, using the VIN of a 2016 FWD Edge on Ford's parts-selling website resolves it as fitting FWD also... Link to this FordParts webpage Perhaps the following high-resolution (1500 x 1500) FordParts-linked images can reconcile your question with the Mechanic's comment... Good luck!

In as much as they didn't remove the hub, and they had to cut the broken stud off to get enough room to remove it; how did they get the new one on?
