Changing a broken stud on a strange 12 bolt? I did a search and didnt see anything specific to a strange 12 bolt.
one of the studs on my passenger side is fucked up and needs to be swapped out. Does anyone have a walk through of what needs to be done to swap it out? Do we have to drop the axle or just bang it out with a hammer and press a new one in?
TIA.

Strange uses screw in "studs". You will have to call Strange or someone who stocks their stuff to get the studs. ARPs won't work as they are press in. If you have traction control you can just remove the sensor on the backing plate to get them out. If you don't have trac. control you can use a 90 degree air drill and a step drill bit to drill a hole where the trac. sensors would be mounted. There is a spot on the backing plate that is about the diameter of a quarter, that's where you want to drill the hole. Strange axles are double drilled for the stock size crap studs or 1/2" studs. I would upgrade to the 1/2" studs now for peace of mind. Good luck,
