Kev_A Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Do I need the ball joint removal tool detailed in the how to for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Nope, two hammers. Hold one behind the hub flange and give the stud a good whack with the other and it should come out no probs. You might need a willing assistant to hold a drift of some sort if the stud is snapped flush with the hub. Use the wheel nut to pull the new stud through. 5 min job. apart from removing the wheel, caliper, disc etc lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The ball joint method will minimise stress on the wheel bearing as it only need a tap to shift the stud/ Clobbering with a hammer is a bit harsh if you're mechanically sympathetic -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
