• Q: How to replace a Wheel Stud on the Front Axle on 2005 Toyota Prius?

  A: The Front Axle LH Wheel Stud replacement process starts with wheel removal followed by disconnection of the front disc brake caliper assembly LH and subsequent separation of the front disc while making visible front disc and front axle hub matchmarks. Users should remove the front axle wheel stud LH by using Service Tool: 09628-10011 at the front disc brake dust cover LH and steering knuckle cut out. A new front axle wheel stud should pass through the front disc brake dust cover LH and steering knuckle cut out to the front axle hub LH followed by passing a plate washer through the front axle hub nut LH to install the front axle wheel stud LH securely with nut (M12 x P1.5 mm). It is recommended to use plate washers exceeding 5 mm in thickness. First verify the front disc matchmarks with front axle hub before the front disc installation and then install the front disc brake caliper assembly LH and lastly reinstall the front wheel using a torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.).
