Parts for your 2014 Honda Cr-v-Wheel studs nuts

2014 Honda CR‑V wheel studs and nuts

Based on Honda’s technical literature for this generation (2012–2016), including the 2014 Honda Owner’s Manual and the Honda Service Manual Wheels/Tyres section, the 2014 CR‑V is built with five press‑in wheel studs on each hub secured by matching wheel nuts. So wheel studs and nuts are absolutely relevant and used on this model.

On the CR‑V, the studs are the threaded pins fixed into the hub, and the nuts clamp the wheel to the hub. That clamping force is what keeps the wheel true, shares braking and cornering loads, and stops the wheel from fretting on the hub face. Honda specifies M12 x 1.5 wheel studs and a wheel nut torque of 108 N·m (80 lb‑ft), tightened in a star pattern (ref: 2014 CR‑V Owner’s Manual and Service Manual torque charts). Tightening to spec is key—under‑torque can let the wheel work loose, over‑torque can stretch studs or damage nuts.

As part of routine servicing or whenever wheels are off, it’s worth giving the studs and nuts a quick once‑over. Look for:

• Damaged, rusty or stretched threads
• Deformed or cracked nuts, or chewed cone seats
• Metal transfer or galling from cross‑threading

Best practice from Honda service information is to install nuts clean and dry—don’t oil or grease the threads or the tapered seats, as lubrication skews torque readings. Keep the hub face and wheel mating surface clean, if corrosion is heavy on the hub pilot, a very light smear of anti‑seize there (not on threads or seats) can help prevent the wheel sticking, taking care to keep it off the friction surfaces.

If a stud is bent, stripped or its splines have spun in the hub, replace it—studs are a press‑fit from the rear of the hub. On the CR‑V that means removing the brake caliper and disc, then pressing the old stud out and the new stud in square to the flange. Replace any suspect nuts at the same time, mixing damaged nuts with new studs is false economy. After refitting the wheel, torque to 108 N·m in a star pattern and recheck after 50–100 km of driving, as commonly advised in Honda service procedures.

Using a quality torque wrench rather than an impact gun for final tightening will massively reduce the chance of stretched studs, warped rotors, or uneven clamping. It’s a simple step that keeps the CR‑V’s wheels secure and the ride smooth.

Popular questions about 2014 Honda CR‑V wheel studs and nuts

What’s the correct wheel nut torque for a 2014 CR‑V?
Honda specifies 108 N·m (80 lb‑ft) for the 2014 CR‑V wheel nuts. Tighten in a star pattern to seat the wheel evenly. Using clean, dry threads and a torque wrench helps achieve consistent clamping without overstressing the studs.

After any wheel service or rotation, it’s sensible to recheck torque after 50–100 kilometres to account for any initial settling.

Can individual wheel studs be replaced on this model?
Yes. The CR‑V uses press‑in studs that can be replaced one at a time. The brake caliper and rotor are removed, the damaged stud is pressed out of the hub flange, and a new stud is pressed in square. It’s a straightforward workshop job, but alignment and correct support of the hub are important to avoid damage.

Always pair new studs with good‑condition nuts of the correct seat and thread (M12 x 1.5) and torque to spec.

Should wheel nut threads be lubricated?
No. Honda service guidance is to install wheel nuts dry. Lubricating threads or cone seats changes friction and can over‑clamp the joint at the specified torque. Keep the hub face and wheel seat clean, and if needed, only a tiny amount of anti‑seize on the hub pilot to prevent wheel sticking—never on the nut threads or tapered seats.
