How hard to change broken studs??

[Steamynachos]

One of the studs on my front driver side hub is striped and the nut just spins off by hand how hard is it to change them out and can you get the left hand threaded studs at Napa?? do you have to press out the stud like in a car?? Thanks guys

You just gotta pull the hub off and whack them out from the outside, and put them in from the inside. NAPA or any truck parts place will have the studs.

how hard is it to change them out

Not hard at all if you remember Tom Sawyer and the Whitewash fence story Wayne

RE: hard

Careful lining up the splines on the studs when you reinsert them. You have to make sure they are in the old splines, otherwise you will gouge new ones hammering them in, and weaken the studs to the point where they will spin in the socket. Then it will take a welder to make sure they stay in place, and that's not a good thing.
