What can make a wheel fall off?

How do you replace a wheel hub stud?
Turn the wheel hub back over so that the wheel stud threads are facing up. Punch the studs out with a hammer and a brass drift. Use a lint-free cloth to clean up the threads inside the wheel hub mounting holes. Note: It is recommended to replace all of the wheel studs on the wheel hub that has a broken stud.
How big of a hole do you need for wheel hubs?
The hole needs to smaller than the diameter of the knurl to get the proper press fit into the flange…remember those studs need to be tight so they don’t spin when you torque down your lug nuts. Does the stud manufacturer give you a recommended drill size or press fit (interference fit) requirement for installing those?
What to do when a wheel stud pops out?
Center the driving screw over the stud and tighten it with a ratchet until the stud pops out the back. Stop tightening when the head of the wheel stud sits flush with the back of the hub. Install the second lug nut (the one you didn’t toss) on the new stud-it’ll go on easier. Tighten with a torque wrench.
