2008 Buick LaCrosse Wheel Hub Bolt

Start with replacing the old with a new stud in the wheel hub. Add enough washers to draw the stud into the hub. Install the wheel nut with the flat side against the washers. Tighten the wheel nut until the stud is fully seated against the hub flange, then back off the wheel nut and remove the washers. Install the brake rotor, caliper, tire and wheel assembly.

First, install the replacement bolt in the wheel hub and add enough washers to draw the bolt into the hub. Next, install the wheel nut with the flat side to the washers and tighten the wheel nut until the wheel bolt head seats against the hub flange. Remove the washers, install the rotor and install the tire/wheel assembly.

Start with lifting and supporting the vehicle. Next remove the tire and wheel assembly, the brake caliper, the bracket, and the brake rotor. Use the tier rod puller to remove the stud from the hub.
