• Q: How to Replace Wheel Studs on the Front Wheels on 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?

  A: Start by lifting the car and taking out the front wheel and tire set to replace the studs. After that, take out the adapters holding the disc brake parts to the steering knuckle, pull out the caliper and adapter as a unit and make sure it is hanging somewhere it will not place too much strain on the brake line. If you turn the road wheel, the brake rotor will slide off the studs. When readying to take the stud out, use the wheel mounting nut to level the threads with the end of the nut, then put Remover, Special Tool C-4150A, on the hub and bearing flange as well as the wheel stud you are removing. Using your electric impact gun, push the wheel stud until its shoulder is past the hub flange; once this is done, remove the special tool, the nut and the ended piece of the stud. To install, drive the new wheel stud through the bracket toward the drive axle first. Then add the nuts and washers, with the nut flat edge against the washers you've placed and tighten them. Push the nut down to secure the wheel stud in the hub flange and keep the head seated. After that, remove the nut and its washers. Place the brake rotor on the hub and bearing and afterwards the brake caliper and adapter while making sure they are lined up through the adapter with the mounting holes on the steering knuckle. Screw the two mounting bolts onto the adapter until you reach 169 Nm (125 ft. lbs.). Have the wheel and tire reinstalled, making sure the wheel mounting nuts are tightened in the right order to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.), check the vehicle after lowering and take a road trip to verify the brakes work well.
