I broke one of my wheel studs, I was able to get the broken stud off the wheel hub, but I can't install the new stud. There is a shroud behind the wheel hub that doesn't allow enough room to push the longer new stud through the hub. My guess is the wheel hub needs to be removed. I removed the hub retaining nut and attempted to use a wheel puller to remove the hub, but it just seems to push the front axle backwards towards the transmission. What in gods name hold the wheel hub on? Is there another way to insert the stud, what am I missing here?
Grind a flat spot on the round head of the new stud this should give enough clearance to install it. don't pull the hub this will damage the bearing.
