oh snap.. its waaayyy more work than you think..

either spend an hour+ or take it to a shop to get the hub pressed out of the knuckle

lemmie write down what i did..

have a set of lug nuts you dont care about cuz they'll get fucked up!!
remove wheel, brake caliper, brake rotor, axle nut
use the lugs you dont care about and bolt on that 'dinosaur foot' to the studs. its the thing on the left. youre gonna use the middle one of the bottom 3 and the single top one



screw on the slide hammer to the 'dino foot'
slide hammer that mo-fo out!! its gonna take a lot of time (took me 40ish minutes for each hub)

when hub is out
bang out the old studs with a hammer
bang in the new studs with a hammer as fas as you can
put the hub back on the car and use the axle nut to press it back in a bit
use close ended wrenches to hang on one of the studs (as much as you need) and use the lug nuts you dont want to tighten the lugs onto the studs

when all the studs are in, tighten the axle nut and spin the hub to make sure the studs arnt hitting. if it is, do the wrench thing again.

hope this helps!

if you have any q's, email me ixcocoyxi@att.blackberry.net
