Default Stud Replacement Help

The studs for my wheel on my rear passenger side need to be replaced. I'm not going to do it myself, but what I was wondering is that a friend told me that if I'm going to replace the studs I might as well go ahead and get my gear put in. He said that you have to drain all the fluids in the axle and do a bunch of other crap, so since it's already going to be worked on that I should just go ahead and do the gear as well. Does that sound correct? Or is replacing the studs on my car easier than that? I have an 04' mustang gt. I would appreciate the help!

ummm get a new friend, heck you don't have to even remove the axle to replace a wheel stud. remove the rotor, bang the old one out, put the new one on and draw it tight with a few washers and a lug nut. I used spacers if you do not have a deep socket. Just do it slowly as you tighten it up.

+1 on what he said. Now if you have extended 3" studs for Weld wheels then getting them in and out tends to be a problem but it can still be done. But if you interested I can hook you up with a pretty good deal on a gear and install. A new gear will wake that car up! It will feel like a totally different car to you.
