Can anyone tell me a good source for rear wheel studs? Can they be replaced or will I have to purchase a new hub?

Toyota? Auto parts store?
 
They are available pretty much anywhere and are easily replaceable. I would not call them a wear item, but broken studs are not rare. No need to replace the hub.

Was in a pinch and had to have it towed to a Firestone shop and leave it to catch a flight, they say they can’t find parts!
 
Where in KY?

Not a parts guru, but it looks like the Toyota wheel stud part #'s are:

rear 90942-02052 (49.55mm see Wits End)
front 90942-02049 (44.97mm see Wits End)

(Edited as don't want bad info out there: see NLXTACY post below)

If you go with aftermarket studs check the length, the Dorman rear studs appear to be shorter than the OEM studs (go with OEM!)

Dorman Rear studs:
610-266 (40mm long)
610-312 (43.69mm)

30 seconds with goggle gives me this.


Those are Raybestos, part # 27520B


The second link references this item replacing all three of these part numbers:
  • Dorman 610-266.1
  • Dorman 98485.1
  • Dorman 610-266
That should give you some leads if there is somereason they are hard to find locally for your guys.


Mark..
 
I got mine for the front from Toyota in Nicholasville ky. Bought the rear at advanced auto parts in Lexington ky they had them in stock.

Tell firestone they suck, these are not hard to find.
 
My experience: Firestone service centers = stink. They are typically a revolving door of tire techs that are unmodivated employees. Make sure to check your lug nut torque before you leave the parking lot. :)
 
^^^what he said^^^, just a different tire store. Had a flat last week, hit something in the road, sliced deep into the tread, almost instant loss of pressure. Just a few weeks earlier the tires were rebalanced at a Discount Tire store. The tire monkey had cross-threaded one of the lugnuts on a stud, snapped off when I went to change the tire for the spare (in a Lowe's parking lot). Now concerned how many other wheel studs they messed up.
 
leave the parking lot.

You want to check some gorilla hasn't pumped them on with a ½" rattle gun until it stalled out.

Last tyre shop I went to rattled nuts on so tight I had to use a 2½' breaker bar to crack them loose :bang::bang:

If I'd found it sooner I would have had them pay the cost of having a reputable so replace them
 
i had a stud break off at Moab 2 years ago and when that happens it’s likely somebody over tightened the lug nuts and compromised the stud at some point in its life. I changed out all 24 studs with new Toyota studs when I got home. Went for new wheel bearings as well while I was in there.
 
Good that NLXTACY posted up the lengths of the OEM studs on his web page.

O'Reillys lists their Dorman REAR studs as either 40mm (610-266) or 43.6mm (610-312) however (as shown on Wits End) OEM rear studs are 49.55mm.

As mentioned in a couple posts above, if one was overtorqued the others were likely also, so will be replacing all mine soon.

Yes they can be replaced. M12 x 1.5 thread. Heaps common as aftermarket studs at auto parts stores. You need to remove the hub to replace them with a press (or using brute force via a lump hammer if not broken off) unless someone knows of a special tool to force them out.

There appears to be different pn's for the front studs compared to the back. Not sure what the difference is as the thread spec is the same for all wheel studs.

90942-02049 for front hubs
90942-02052 for rear hubs (on 80's with full-floating axles).

Touch wood I've only ever had one break (with a bang, doing a hard turn in a carpark). If the nuts are not over-tightened and all are torqued equally they should be good.
 
front on the left and rear on the right
