I have some busted studs on a front wheel on my Cavalier. I have removed the wheel, removed the caliper and pounded out the old busted studs. The problem now is that there is not enough room to get the new studs in through the hub. It is very close, but the studs are just a hair too long. I tried tapping one in from behind on an angle with a hammer, but it damaged the threads too much to ever be able to get a nut on. I would like to remove the hub now and slide the studs in on a work bench. Can I simply remove the spindle nut and pull the hub off, or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks, Ian
