wheel stud install question
did some searching, saw a couple good posts on wheel stud installs, just wondering if the hub needs to be completely removed in order to install a new stud? I have two broken studs (broken off flush at the hub) that need to be replaced, but would like to avoid taking off the entire hub assembly. seems that my one locking lug(on two separate wheels), which was open ended, corroded onto the stud and snapped off when removing the lug

yes you do... and if there're any other things that you think might need to be done now or in the near future like new wheel bearing it'd be good to take care of that at the same time...

it's a pita but you can install stock studs with the hub still on the car... extendeds you have to remove the hub
edit: use a large punch and a hammer for removal and use a open ended lugnut with alot of washers for installation

I remember MikeHonda @ Expo installing/replacing a stock stud with the hub assembly still on. I think the trick is to get the new stud as far into the hub as possible so that a lug nut will install. Then just tighten to spec in a manner that avoids marring the hub. Using washers as suggested above is a good idea.
Get yourself some anti-seize

Try using the slide hammer with just one of the legs of the hub puller on the stud you want to pull through the hub. Just make sure that you have the lug nut threaded all the way down every time the stud is pulled through more.
