Wheel hub removal?
I snapped a stud on my 96 GS-R when switching from my snow tires to summer tires the other day. I knew that they just "pressed" into the back of the hub so I went to napa and got some replacements. Took wheel/rotor/caliper off and tried to get it in with no luck. Next I tried grinding down the stud head a little to try and help with clearance and still couldnt get it in. Next step was to take it to the acura dealer, and they said that they would have to pull the hub and replace the wheel bearing and that it would cost in the range of 150-200$. Luckily/Unfortunately they didnt have a wheel bearing in stock so I left with a still broken stud. So.....
1)How hard is it to remove the hub, and does anyone know of any DIY guides.
2)Is there another way to replace this stud.
thanks
