I've done it before, but have always had an impact wrench... well my impacter decided to take a crap on me and isn't working right (it was a harbor frieght cheapy)... Is it practical to think that I can do this without an impact wrench?
I know it can be done with a long lug wrench or breaker bar, but is it a major pain in the ***?
Rebuilding the engine... Building a custom front end... T-top conversion... Custom rear hatch..
Custom interior...
eh, not really. or it shouldn't be. i had to use a breaker bar to get the lugs off a while ago because i couldn't find the right socket size for the impact wrench. as i remember, it was challenging, but obviously possible. i didn't replace a stud though
i have no idea what you guys are talking about here, so pardon my ignorance, but i always take the lug nuts off with a breaker bar, and i have never had to use one/impact gun to replace a wheel stud, just a huge hammer to smash them out
I'm talking about putting the new stud back in... they're press-fit and need to be seated in the hub... I was just wondering if anyone had ever done it with a socket and breaker bar before...
I might just get a new impact wrench... not where I want to spend money right now, but I need one anyway...

all you need is a breaker bar and a bunch of washers, and someone to hold the brake for you
Same here. I replaced a few on someone else's car last year, and I didn't have access to my air tools.
I put a few washers on the stud, threaded the lug on, then began turning slowly until it was properly seated on the backside. To help it move a little easier, I applied a very light dab of grease to the press fitting side of the stud. Worked great!

Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
