Take the brake caliper loose, and the wheel bearing nut. Remove the hub
from the spindle.

Removing the hub is likely to create a problem on this car. Remove th
rotor and caliper, and there should be enough room to knock the stud ou
the back. If not, you may need to cut it off.

When installing the new stud, if additional clearance is needed, grind
flat spot on one side of the back of the stud
