[MR2] Studs

[Donald Chalfant]

Not too mysterious. Lug nuts not tightened correctly, or somebody is trying to collect on her life insurance.   Take the drum off, put it on the driveway, open side down. Take a center punch and a big hammer. Drive out the old studs.  Insert the new studs  into the drum splines, put a big socket on the cement for the stud to stick down into, hold the drum level with one hand and use the big hammer to whack the new studs home.

  Hey guys I have a non MR2 related question. My wife has a 99 Dodge Ram  
  1500 2 wheel drive with rear Drum brakes. Well the left rear tire  
  studs either broke off or stripped today after getting a mysterious  
  shaking and raddling noise throughout the truck. My question is how do  
  I go about changing the studs out?
