Bobs2015EdgeSport Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I was wondering if anybody has tried (successfully) to remove and replace a cross-threaded wheel stud on a 2015 Edge Sport... whether on the front or the rear... without completely disassembling the brakes and the hub parts, as instructed in the Alldata DIY information? I have a stud slightly cross-threaded on both the front and the rear, and rather than trying to rethread them, I would rather just insert brand new ones in their places... but without all the MAJOR disassembly steps that seem to be required in my Alldata research! I once successfully did this replacement on a '67 Camaro (with drum brakes) years ago, as there was just enough room to push a new stud back in from the rear... so I was hoping that the same potential for an "easier" way to replace one on my Edge was also possible. Has anybody had to do this on their 2015-forward Edge, and if so, could you do it without doing all the ridiculous (and major) disassembly? Thanks!

Bobs2015EdgeSport Posted December 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 If anybody is interested, I WAS able to replace a stud on the front AND the back hubs, without doing anything more than temporarily moving the caliper assemblies aside, and rotating the hubs to a particular position... to a spot where Ford had actually put a little dimple in the hub area, to just barely give you enough room to pop-out the old one (a hammer removed the old one), and then I used open-ended "sacrificial" lug-nuts to pull and seat the new studs all the way into position. Pretty easy-peasey! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
