Default broken rear studs ..

I have a quick Q about replacing them .. I pretty much remove eveything down the my rear rotors, unplug the abs sensor at the back, then there will be a small hole where I can knock them out ? If im rong can someone please correct me.

Paul

Nope. Sorry bud you have to pull the axles. Unbolt the four bolts and remove the clip, it should slide right out. You will lose fluid doing this so be sure to top it off after doing this.

You can replace rear studs on the stock 7.5" 10 bolt without pulling the axles. I have done it. Unbolt the calipers, remove the rotors and drive the broken stud out with a punch. By rotating the axle, you will find a spot where there will be enough room to insert the new stud. Use a stack of washers or a couple of large nuts and a stock lug nut to pull it into the flange.
