How does this tool work?

Thread the installer onto the wheel stud, position it against the hub flange, and use a ratchet or impact wrench to tighten. The tool pulls the stud through the flange evenly. The built-in thrust bearing allows the stud to rotate freely during installation.

Will this work on 5/8-inch wheel studs?

No. The Lisle 22800 does not accommodate 5/8-inch studs. It is designed for standard automotive and light truck stud sizes. Check your stud diameter before purchasing.

Do I need to remove the hub to replace a wheel stud?

In most cases, no. You can press the old stud out from behind the hub and use this installer to pull the new one in from the front side without removing the hub assembly, which saves significant time.

Product Details

Replacing a broken wheel stud used to mean either hammering the new one in from behind the hub or using a stack of washers with a lug nut, which risks damaging the threads. The Lisle 22800 wheel stud installer gives you a cleaner method. You thread it onto the stud, then use a ratchet or impact wrench to draw the new stud into the hub flange evenly and straight.

The tool is made from tool steel and includes a thrust bearing where it contacts the hub flange. That bearing lets the stud turn independently of the contact surface, which prevents galling on the hub face and makes the pull-in smoother. It works on almost all automotive and light-duty truck wheel studs, both import and domestic, so a single tool covers most of the vehicles you are likely to work on. At 5 ounces, it is small enough to keep in your toolbox without taking up space.

One thing to keep in mind: the thrust bearing is a wear item and will degrade over time with repeated use. If you are doing a lot of stud replacements, inspect the bearing periodically. Also note that this tool does not accommodate 5/8-inch studs, so verify your stud size before purchase if you are working on a heavy-duty application.
