I snapped one of the rear wheel studs on my wife's '04 EX and need to know how to replace it. I took the wheel off and can't seem to figure out how to remove the drum to get at the broken stud. I did a search and came up with nothing. Thanks in advance.

 

the 2 holes in between the bolt pattern are threaded for 8mm bolts. release the parking brake and you can back the drum off. You'll need to remove the hub to get the new stud in, as they are longer than the clearance from the backing plate to the back of the hub.

 

That was my main question b/c I didn't see how to remove the hub. I was under the inpression that it would involve an impact driver as previous cars I've done.

Anyway, just to clarify, there are 2 holes on the face of the drum? I must have missed them. So I need to use 8mm bolts and do what? Thread them in and that will back the hub of the drum off? Is there a thread pitch that is required?

Thank for the help.

release the E brake and thread an 8mm bolts on the two holes in the drum, slowly making a gap from the back plate, you can use a big flat screwdriver to remove it.
The exploded view below should give you an idea on how to do it.
