Typically, replacing a single Honda wheel stud costs about $100–$250 per wheel, including parts and labor, based on typical pricing in the U.S. auto-repair market as of 2024–2026. If access to the stud requires removing the hub or bearing, or if multiple studs are involved, total costs can rise to $300–$600 per wheel. This range can vary by model, location, and shop.
Wheel studs are essential fasteners that secure the wheel to the hub. Replacement costs depend on vehicle design, whether the hub must be removed, and local labor rates. The following sections break down typical costs and what can influence them for Honda models such as Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Pilot.
Typical costs and what affects them
The numbers below illustrate common cost patterns for replacing a single wheel stud on a Honda. They assume standard parts and labor at a typical auto shop; prices can vary by region and shop policy.
- Single stud replacement without hub bearing work: parts about $2–$10; labor about 1–2 hours; total typically $100–$250 per wheel.
- Access requires hub removal or bearing service: additional labor and possibly hub-related parts; total around $150–$450 per wheel.
- Multiple studs replaced or complete hub assembly replacement: higher costs, commonly $300–$800 per wheel, depending on model and whether OEM or aftermarket parts are used.
In most cases, you’ll pay primarily for labor, while the stud itself is a low-cost part. Expect variance based on trim level, region, and whether a dealer or independent shop is used.
Model/year and location considerations
Honda models differ in how the wheel studs are configured and accessed. Some front-wheel-drive Hondas mount studs on the hub itself; others may require additional axle or bearing work. Labor rates vary widely by location and by dealer vs. independent shop. The following factors commonly influence price:
- Vehicle model and year: different hub designs and service procedures.
- Front vs. rear wheels: some configurations are more labor-intensive.
- Access difficulty: corroded or recessed studs need more disassembly and time.
- Parts choice: OEM versus aftermarket studs; some shops charge more for OEM parts.
- Regional labor rates: urban areas or dealer service centers typically cost more.
Knowing these factors can help you compare quotes and plan for a possible broader repair if a hub bearing or axle needs replacement.
Summary
Replacing a Honda wheel stud is usually a straightforward job, with most single-stud replacements falling in the $100–$250 range per wheel. If more extensive work is required—such as hub bearing replacement or multiple studs—the cost climbs to the $300–$800 per wheel range. Always obtain a written estimate that itemizes labor and parts, and consider getting quotes from a few shops to account for regional pricing and model-specific factors.
