Rear Wheel Stud Replacement
2003, F250, 7.3 Diesel single rear axle. Just broke a wheel stud on the left rear. I pulled the tire and have removed the rotor. This has allowed me to get the old wheel stud out. Wheel Stud Size 14 x 1.5 (Ford Item Only) $9.00
Heres the problem how the heck does the new one insert? No room with the emergency brake in the way? Suggestions please......

To get the hub off, you have to remove the caliper and caliper bracket. Then removing the axle nut allows the hub to come off.
It takes a special driver socket.
To replace, you torque it to 60 ft/lbs, then back off seven clicks.
Not sure about 2003's, but my 2000's left side axle nut was left-hand-threaded

Ok Thanks, Almost done. Napa had the socket $20 bucks. Nut came off, then outer bearing. The actual hub took alittle work but came off without tools. hammered on new wheel stud and put everything back.
How do you close the caliber? Brake was pressed and pushed it open, not allowing it to fit on the rotor. I need to close the caliper? Suggestions???
