How to replace a wheel stud in a toyota camry?

I have 1994 toyota camry LE and the right front wheel stud is worn out and a second one is missing. I need to replace them. Could someone who knows how to do this give me a good advise. I have already taken off the wheel and put a side a rotor with the brake caliper. Also I taken off an axle nut. Now I can't figure out what I have to do next. Please help.|||Look behind the studs on the hub. There is usually one little spot where the stud can back all the way out, like a pocket cut into the metal; anywhere else the stud will bump into the yoke or some part of the steering linkage. Rotate the hub so that the stud you want to remove is lined up with the pocket. Take an appropriate hammer (like a 2 lb dead blow or a lead mallet) and hit the damaged stud straight on, driving it out the back.





Make sure you have the -correct- replacement stud before you start, unless you've got another car to drive back to the store. I've gotten the wrong parts so many times from Autozone and Advance I have lost count.





When you buy the new studs, buy two oversized lug nuts; ones that are big enough to slide over the threads. The guy in the store will probably look at you funny. Use these to tighten the new stud. You can find pictures of what I'm talking about below.|||place the rotor on a piece of plywood or block of wood to protect the surface. hit the threaded end of the stud to be removed out of the rotor. the studs are splined. removal tends to be the easiest as they usually come out one or two hits. to install the replacement slip the threaded part back into the hole as snug as possible with your hand. you now can use say a larger nut that will slip over the entire stud easily (not miles too loose) and thread the replacement nut down against the nut and begin tightening it down. this will draw the stud into the caliper. I like to use a lubricant on the splines and in the hole so the tightening goes smoothly. be sure to check that the stud has the splines and threads to not bottom out on the stud before the stud is seated. periodically check for this as stripping out the threads would be a pain. once the stud stops drawing in back off the nut and check that the stud base is seated on the back of the caliper. done deal!|||Ok put the rotor on the ground with the studs pointing up and hammer the bad ones stright down than slide the new studs in, than tighting it until the head of the stud is flush with the rest of the studs. Reassemble the rotor to the car, put ur tire on and ride around the block than retorque the lugs.|||http://www.ehow.com/video_2328000_replac鈥?/a>
