Broken wheel stud

[Dieseldragon]

Got a broken front wheel stud. Does the hub have to come apart to put the new in? Have Googled it but can't find anything model specific.

No!

Jack that corner and remove wheel.

Remove the Brake Caliper (two 17mm-headed bolts) and support the caliper on a piece of wire or string.

Remove Brake disk.

Rotate the hub until the broken stud is in line with the cut-out in the dust shield where the caliper sits then use a parallel punch and a club hammer to knock it out. The stud has splines and a heavy flanged end.

Knock the new one in from the back (don't worry about getting it fully home - it will pull into place when the wheel is replaced).

Put it all together again.

Bob.

Thanks, ordered the new stud, just wanted to know how much time to allow for doing it.
