MaRkYbOy72 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Car just failed MOT because front passenger wheel only has 4 studs as one has snapped off. The chap at the garage seems to think that I might need a new wheel bearing as well to change the stud as he will have to take the bearing apart to get to the back of the stud?! Can a stud be changed without all the expense of replacing the wheel bearing aswell please? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 No need to strip the hub, they can be pressed out in situ. i have studs in stock, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
