Oen of my studs broke off while changing a flat so now I have to take apart the hub and replace the stud. Turns out there was a bubble in the area where teh stud broke. POS Any advice before I start tearing apart my car?

 

we actually just ground down part of the hub and part of the stud backing plate and punched it out then did the same thing for the new one

 

Also is it safer to take the whole knuckle off before takin the hub off or take the hub off while the kunuckle is on the car? It seems that the wheel bearing could be damaged if using something like a slide hammer.

 

what year is your car, on some models youy can replace stud without removig the hub.

 

2000 i-4 coupe lx, is it safe to drive on 3 studs? I have work and Fiansl to goto.

I drove on 3 studs for few months, you will be fine. I just would not do any rally racing

 

no, do not do this, regardless if he survived or not
