OK, I have a 97 accord and was given the wrong lugnuts for it so I tightened them they stripped on, as you can guess the only way to get them off was to snap them off! Now im stuck with an accord with no wheel studs. I know I can used the slide hammer but the part of the stud that is left is not long enough to get a lug on (theres about a 1/4" left) so the slide hammer won't work. Does anyone know what I can do to get the rotor off so I can replace the studs or have any ideas or things to try? Please help me if you can think of anything. Thanks

there should be two 8mm holes in the rotor that are empty. thread two 8mm bolts into them, but make sure you do it little by little so both bolts go in evenly and are just about equally as deep as eachother at all times. this will slowly force the rotor off of the wheel hub. hope that helps man.

jack car up.. take wheel off.. take calibers off.. have flashlight ready.. turn rotor and look behind it.. as ur turn it slowly u will see 4 studs.. now.. turn it to where u can see the stud u wanna take out.. now back ot the front.. take a punch and hammer the stud out.. and it should fall out hte back.. buy new one .. install new stud from the back.. and use lug nuts to pull it thru all the way.. i tink thats how it goes
