Default @ wheel studs snaped

Well I went to do my front brakes today and 2 wheel studs snaped. Well from what I hear you have to remove the hub to get them out. So tommarow I'm gonna take the front suspension apart on both sides.

The only reason that I am going to do this is because I bought a Prothane bushing kit. And I have take apart the suspension to do that. Maybe this was a sign to just finish the bushing kit, cause I was holding off doing it cause of the pain I had doing the rear. Now I am going to replace it all.

Good Luck to ME

Also if anyone has any info on another way to do it let me know I am open to ideas. Can I do this by myself or should I take it to the shop to get the hub off. ,

You can't replace the bearings in the hub. They are pressed in. All you can really do is just grease them.

So you cant have new wheel bearings pressed in. I thought that they could go bad after a while l

new hubs do not have bearing.
you need to get a bearing pressed in.


new hubs come with 4 new studs. a hub ran me $150 from honda. plus another $50 for the bearing. bearing usually go for about $80 new from honda.

if you can press the bearing in yourself. wouldn't be a bad idea.

I got a new hub and bearing from Acura and it was pricey as hell. If you can do the labor yourself you will be better off. Like they said, the bearing will need to be pressed into the hub, so make sure you can have someone do that.
