Or go to advance auto and buy one for about $1.49 and replace it yourself, easy easy fix, and cheap too!

The proper way is to take the wheel off, take the brake rotor off, take the hub off, hammer out the old stud, and then go to a machine shop and have the new one pressed in.

The easiest way is to take the wheel off, take the brake rotor off, hammer out the old stud, put in the new stud (a little JB weld never hurt anyone here lol), and you're done.

I never even use the JB weld, I just put the new stud in, put everything back together b/c once the lub nut is on the stud, where's it gonna go, ya know?

Hope that helped a little bit

Thats how I do it, minus the JB weld

I reccomend once you put the brake rotor back on, before you put the wheel on, tighten a lug nut all the way down on that beast to make sure it pulls all the way through, then put the wheel back on and tighten em all down

Pull it all off, bring it to us cause we have a press and you'll be done.....the proper way. BTW, don't hammer it out, alot of people do it wrong and mess up wheel bearings like this.
