  Q: How to remove and install a Wheel Stud and other components with disc and drum brakes on Mitsubishi Mirage?

  A:

  In order to remove and install components with disc brakes, first raise the proper end of the vehicle and support it safely with jackstands and remove the wheel. Next, remove the brake pads and caliper. Support the caliper aside using a hanger. Detach the outer wheel bearing and lift off the rotor, ensuring the rotor is properly supported with press bars. Drive the stud out with the aid of an arbor press. If you don't have a press, ensure that the rotor is supported evenly and used a blunt drift to carefully drive the old stud out. To install a new stud, clean the stud hole first with a wire brush and start the stud with a hammer and drift pin. Do not use any lubricant or thread sealer. Complete the stud installation using the press or, if no press available, install flat washers and a lug nut to draw the stud into position; hold it fully seated before removing the lug nut and washers. Next, the rotor is installed and the wheel bearings adjusted, followed by the brake caliper and pads. Finally, put the wheel on, remove the jackstands, lower the car, and torque the lug nuts to spec. To access drum brakes, first raise and support the vehicle, then remove its wheel and brake drum. Remove brake shoes if necessary to clear jam. Using a large C-clamp and socket, press out the stud from the axle flange. Coat the serrated part of the stud in liquid soap and press it into the hole. For installing the stud, place flat washers on the stud and thread the lug nut. Then hold the flange while tightening the lug to pull the stud into position. Make sure that the stud is seated all the way before removing the lug nut and washers. If required, fit the brake shoes then the brake drum, then the wheel, and finally remove the jackstands and lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque.
