Renate, you need to take the calliper off, then the hub. On the front of
the hub you'll see 6 (I think) bolts that hold the disc onto the hub -
undo those and you can separate the disc from the hub with some gentle
persuasion. With the disc removed from the hub you can see the back of
the wheel studs. Get a drift of some sort, for example a bit or steel
bar about 10mm diameter and 6" long. Use the drift to hammer the old
stud out the back of the hub. Push the new stud into place and find some
packing washers or similar so that by tightening the wheel nut onto the
new stuff it pulls it through. Make sure the stud is coming through
square on to the hub though otherwise they bend, best if you have a
couple of studs to hand just in case.
As Roman said you need lock washers and a gasket for the hub as well
when you put it back together. I have always managed just fine using
this method and have at various times replaced all 12 front studs, no
blow torch or hydraulic press should be needed.
It's not a big job Renate if you have the spares ready before hand.
Best Regards,
Jon.

Its not the hub bolt on the axle that's gone, its only the wheel bolt -
we
had a similar problem in 2000 in Libya too with wheel bolts - my mate
didn't do much with it for a few days, but we did saw through the
opposite
one as the wheel was unevenly balanced on five - which is what mine is -
its just an ionconvenience, I can probably sort it out with a drill, and
a
special tool...which I'm acquiring on this Friday coming - hopefully, it
will all be done for Saturday so I can leave for Billing in good time to
arrive there for the evening.
