Hub bolt replacement on 98 Legacy Outback.


Recommended Posts

Greetings again everyone!

 

I managed to partially strip the hub bolt on my 98 Legacy Outback wagon last night. Both the bolt and the nut show some stripping. I tried using different nuts that weren't stripped to see if they would go onto the bolt, didn't force anything, but no luck.

 

So now I am looking at the service manual for how to replace the hub bolt, and it looks to be a bit more involved than I expected. It suggests using a couple different presses that I do not have. Does anyone have any tips or tricks up their sleeve for this project?

The bolt that the lug nut screws onto to hold the rim on the car. There are five of them. "hub bolt" according to the service manual that I am reading. Checker Auto calls them "Wheel Lug Stud/Bolt".

 

Oh, you mean the "Penta Spiral Ramp Cut Wheel Retention mechanism"!

 

Manual-speak can be pretty amusing sometimes.
