yea i picked up some wheel studs today at honda, two of mine are stripped in the front, anyone done this before? do i have to remove suspension components or what? a mechanic told me to just remove the caliper and rotor to get to the back of the studs then just pound them out?
let me know id appretiate it

Yup, thats what I did. Just take off the caliper and rotor and use a small sledge hammer to hit 'em out. there only held pressed in and the splines are what help keep them there

 

Just put spare lug nuts on the studs you wish to keep so you don't gnarl them up. then beat the hell out of the other ones.
