Replacing Wheel stud: can someone explain these instructions?
Searched, and came accross this:
**"To get the old one out just beat it out with a hammer and a punch. To reinstall a new one alot of guys say you have to take off the hub. You don't. The main problem is that you can't put the new stud back in straight without messing up the threads because of the brake caliper. To solve this just take a grinder to one side of the head of the stud and flatten it out. This will allow the stud to slide straight in. Once you've done this find a nut that will fit over the stud loosely then thread your lug over this and tighten it down good to make sure the stud is securely in place. After this you are ready to go."**
I read it...but I do not fully understand. Can someone break it down and explain how to do this? Like, how much should I grind and what do I need to take apart? How do I insert the wheel stud back in? I need to replace a wheel stud that has come loose! help!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

are you replacing front or rear?
and DO NOT HAMMER the stud out! (while its on the spindle) you will damage your bearings.

if youre going to have to remove the hub anyway to put the new stud on, then you might as well wait until the hub is out to remove the old stud.
