PSUFetch Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I can't say this is the way the Edge is designed, but with my Mazda, when I broke a stud, I was able to remove it without removing the hub. The stud was press-fit into the hub. You can either use a punch and hammer it out, or a c-clamp and press it out. I put the new stud into the hub and threaded a lug over it. I had to buy a lug that is open at the top, not one of the "nice" looking ones that come with the car. I then used an impact driver to tighten the lug and pull the stud into the hub. Again, I don't know if the Edge is designed the same way, but it might be worth taking a look. I called a few different auto parts stores until I could find one that had them. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 also where can i find some more studs at? cant find them at the dealer or autozone I called a few different auto parts stores until I could find one that had them. You guys ever hear of a thing called a "Ford Dealer"? I've heard they actually have Ford parts like wheel studs. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98dropta Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 got some new studs ordered but still cant get the hub off, the studs will not come fully out bc of the splash shield behind the rotors thats welded to the spindle and the spindle also gets in the way any one else?

PSUFetch Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 A dealership would work, except I broke my stud on a Sunday and wanted to complete the work that day. No dealerships around me have parts department hours on a Sunday. Also, when you re-read the section of 98drotpa's post that you quoted, you'll see that he tried the dealership and they didn't have any in stock. Glad you were able to add something of value to the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge1489 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Im having trouble replacing the wheel stud because of the splash guard. How did you go about finishing the replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
