2003 and older I believe have those thread in bolts. Any tricks to get them out. Do ya have to take the hub off?? I need to replace a couple of mine. Thanks for the help.

 

They come right out. It is a allen I don't know the size right now. You don't have to remove the hubs. I get them at copper state nut and bolt for less than 50 cents each.

 

A normal allen wrench will not fit in there to take them out. did you cut one of your wrenches??

 

Justin:

Are you talking about the studs for your lug-nuts?

I think those are an 8mm allen.

I used my 3/8" socket drive allens. Craftsman has a nice little set I'ld suggest you pick up. With how much you work on your quad you'll find them useful many times.

I'ld like to get a 1/4" drive set of them too but, haven't seen that one yet.

 

Are you talking about the wheel studs? If so, it should be a M10 x 40 Socket Head Screw. A nice set of allen tip sockets work great.

The hub nut is the big bolt holding the hub on to the axle. It has a cotter pin locking it on. An impact makes an easy job of removing it.

 

I already have a set of the 3/8" allen. I cannot fit them between the hub and brake plate. Even the short end of the allen wrench will not fit. When I say will not fit I am not talking 8mm vs. 10mm I am talking about the space between the hub and brake plate. No one else has had this problem?

 

Sorry, I guess it is the wheel and the brake plate. My 3/8" allen with wrachet will not fit.

 

Is it best to just take the hub and wheel off to get to the wheel studs??

 

I believe you are talking about the FRONT wheel studs, I assumed you were talking about the rear. The clearences between the front hub and the brake rotor are tight, even if you could get your wrench in their, I doubt there would be enough room to back the bolt out. I have never removed the front hub, but it looks like you will have to in order to replace the stud.

I must be missing something.
