Wheel stud replacement - how hard?

[DaveZee]

Finally started working on the dart, and discovered after taking off the hubcaps that one of the studs on the rear driver side wheel was snapped off. How hard is this stud to replace?

Easy, knock the old one out, push the new one in. Use and open end lug nut to pull the new stud threw the axle.

I don't know if this is caoorect or wise to do, but in the past, I took a BFH (Big Freakin Hammer) and wacked the stud out. Then I put the stud in as far as I could, installed the wheel over it and used the lug wrench to pull it in all the way.
Again, not to sure this is a recomended way of doing it. I might even get yelled at.)

Pray you never have to do the front drum studs. The splines on the stud were expanded on the front side . I had to mill the backside off and beat them through towards the front side.
For the backs...what they said.

Sweet! Thanks for the info. It's nice to hear that something can be easy for a change!

Locating studs is harder then replacing them I think. I have a couple of left hand threaded ones if you need 'em.

I got left hand studs at O'Rielly's.
