In order to take out and put in the components with disc brakes, one should first raise up and support the relevant end of the vehicle securely with the help of jackstands then take out the wheel. The second step is to remove the brake pads and caliper, holding the caliper aside using wire or a coat hanger. Lift off the rotor, remove the outer
Wheel Bearing and be careful in handling the wheel bearing. Hold the rotor in place with press bars and punch the stud out with an arbor press; no press available, the old stud may be punched out with a blunt drift taking care so as not to damage the rotor. To install it, clean the stud hole with the wire brush and begin installing the new stud with a hammer and drift pin without any lubricant or thread sealer. Install the stud with either a press or, in the absence of a press, flat washers and a lug nut to draw the stud until it is firmly seated then remove the lug nut and the washers. Install the rotor and the wheel bearings, the brake caliper and pads. Lastly, install the wheel, take out the jackstands and lower the vehicle and screw the lug nuts until the correct amount of torque. In the case of the drum brakes, lift the car and place it in jackstands and then remove the wheel and the brake drum. When necessary, take off the brake shoes. Press the stud of the axle flange with a large C-clamp and socket and apply the liquid soap on the serrated surface of the new stud and insert it into the hole. Installation requires placing flat washers on studs and screwing the lug nut, gripping the lug flange and screwing it in to ensure the stud is fully seated and then loosening the lug nut and the washers. Install the brake shoes back in place then the brake drum, and then the wheel. Lastly, take off jackstands and lower the car and screw the lug nuts to the correct torque.
