How to remove a wheel stud without a hammer 

That got a chuckle out of me, I could almost hear it. I am glad I could help.

That makes me happy.

I am glad to hear it.

Find a couple of washers that can go around the head and make a spacer.

@@asquaregarden oh okay! Good idea thanks, wish you had written earlier!! I ended up having to use a hammer, which I didn't want to do but🤷

Glad it helped.

That one is the most common one available but I don’t see why another similar size would not work if it fits.

I have not but that is as close to using a sledge hammer as you can get.

@asquaregarden If I ever need to I'll probably try it first since I already have the tools.

The advantage of using a ball joint tool is that there is no impact vibration. In all honesty I would probably just use a sledge hammer vs an air chisel.

There are tools but are generally really expensive. I have one example in the description. As far as bending the stud, it must have been the angle of camera. I doubt you can bend a hardened bolt on that little travel. There is probably a total of 10 degrees rotation. The pivot of the tool has 100 times more slop in it than that.

@@asquaregarden Skip from 0:38 to 1:05 and look at the spacing of the thread on the bottom and the top of stud - perhaps it's the lighting but it does look closer on the bottom than the top by 1:05 but not so much at 0:38. One thing I will say though is: if you do use a hammer, it's worth having a large thick rubber grommit to place over the stud before you start hitting it. I just hit mine out then hit the brand new hub I had and left a mark on it! I'm really gutted by that as I paid to get them all the way from the US!

If it came out that easily two quick 1:59 hits with a 4lb hammer would have done it. Any seized stud would just break this tool.
