I have 2 broken lug nut studs on my front hub. I see I can buy a new front hub, my question is, how do i get the front hub off. Do I need to repack the bearings? See attached pics.

Thank you,

Jeff

Take the hub cap off, take the colter pin out and underscrew the nut and pull the whole thing off. While you have it apart you can check the bearing but I would probably replace them since you are going with new hubs. But why not just replace the 2 bolts if the hub is in good working order?

Hi Kirk,
Thanks for the info. I'm pretty new to this. Just wondering how to get the stud out? Do i just hammer it out?

The studs are a pressed or drive in fit and yes you just use a hammer. Take the hub off and support it as it is not a good thing to beat on bearings.
