so i just bought this 87 accord hatch lxi not but a few months ago. n yesterday i was painting the wheels. when i got to the last wheel, and the last lug nut i came to find out that it was completly stripped barely hangin on.
so my question is, do i need to replace the hub?/pull the suspension off to get the lug bolt out( that is if its pressed)?/ or since its on the rear drum am i able to take the drum off n just replace the bolt(again if its pressed)??? any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
ive read through the DIY section and i didnt find any info there.
thank you
:help:

Since it's in the rear, it's easy to just replace the stud

take the drum off and wack that stud out and put the new one in get a nut BIGGER then the stud itself, then screw on your lug nut and tighen to flush. put the drum bad on and your done. Make sure you use anit-sieze

Ren, could you explain? I don't follow the bigger nut thing?

Won't he have to take the hub/bearing assembly off the spindle in order to get the stud out though? Still not a big deal at all, but I thought it needed to come off.
