Replace part of wheel hub possible?

[cexsiman]

I put new wheels on my car, and i found out that sometime in the past a shop screwed up one of the studs on my wheel hub, i just couldnt see it behiend my hubcaps. Is it possible to replace a stud on my own? or at all? Does anyone have pics or illustrations to do it? or know where to buy a stud. It looks like there is room to remove it and its not part of the hub.

oh and its on the rear wheel if that makes a difference





and here are the new rims, let me know what you think

Replacing the stud is easy enough and low cost.

The treaded stud is pressed into the drum. You will need to remove the drum to press or drive out the stud.

An auto parts store or the dealer should have a replacement stud at minimal cost.

The easiest way is to bring the drum down to an auto stores that has a press. Call ahead first to see if they can do it and have the part or pick it up at the dealer.

The new stud can also be driven in gently with a hammer and a block of wood or something to deaden the blows.

A TN search will turn up past posts on how to do this.

i found a great write up a little after i posted

Broken wheel lug...

but is it still the same for disk brakes? it should be, or are you talking about the drum for the ebrake in the rear wheels? and would i have to remove my caliper? i'm just iffy about touching my brakes, i can do it mechanically but if i can avoid it, i will.

thanks
