2007 Honda CR‑V wheel studs and nuts
Wheel studs and nuts are absolutely used on the 2007 Honda CR‑V. Honda’s 2007 CR‑V Owner’s Manual (Specifications section), the 2007–2011 CR‑V Service Manual (Wheels/Tyres and Suspension chapters), and Honda’s Electronic Parts Catalogue all show a five‑stud hub using conical‑seat wheel nuts, with a specified wheel nut torque of around 108 N·m (80 lbf·ft). That makes wheel studs and nuts directly relevant to this model.
On this CR‑V, five press‑in steel studs are fitted to each hub. The wheel is slipped over the studs and secured with conical‑seat nuts. The purpose is simple and critical: the studs provide the clamping posts, the nuts supply the clamping force, and together they centre and secure the wheel to the hub so the vehicle can brake, steer and carry loads safely. Proper clamping prevents wheel wobble, brake pulsation, and the nightmare of a wheel working loose.
As part of servicing, the wheel studs and nuts deserve a quick look any time wheels are off—for tyres, brakes, or rotation. Check that the threads are clean and undamaged, and feel for smooth nut engagement by hand before touching the torque wrench. Honda specifies tightening the nuts to 108 N·m on clean, dry threads, avoid lubricants or anti‑seize on the threads or nut seats because that can over‑clamp and distort torque readings. Always tighten in a star pattern and recheck torque after 50–100 km if wheels have been removed.
If a nut binds, the thread looks stretched, or a stud has been over‑torqued or cross‑threaded, replace the affected parts immediately. Studs are press‑fit from the rear of the hub, replacement typically involves removing the caliper and rotor (front) or drum/rotor (rear) to press or draw in a new stud. It’s good practice to renew the matching nut whenever a stud is changed. Avoid impact guns for final tightening—use a calibrated torque wrench.
- Look for corrosion, galling, or flattened threads on studs and nuts.
- Use only the correct 60‑degree conical‑seat nuts, mixing styles can loosen wheels.
- If you’ve hit a pothole hard or done off‑road work, add a quick torque check to the next service.
Popular questions about 2007 Honda CR‑V wheel studs and nuts
What’s the correct wheel nut torque for a 2007 Honda CR‑V?
Honda specifies about 108 N·m (80 lbf·ft) on clean, dry threads. Tighten in a star pattern in two or three passes, then recheck after 50–100 km if wheels were off for tyres or brakes.
When should the studs or nuts be replaced?
Replace any time threads are damaged, a nut won’t run on smoothly by hand, a stud is bent, stretched, or has visible corrosion pitting. If a wheel has been driven loose, replace the affected studs and nuts as a set on that hub.
Can anti‑seize be used on the wheel studs?
Not recommended. Honda’s service guidance expects clean, dry threads. Lubricants and anti‑seize can significantly change clamping force for a given torque, risking over‑tightening or loosening in service.
