Sheared wheel stud Holden Frontera

If you are going to take the hub off I would replace them all. Seems the sensible thing to do rather than do them one at a time as they are all as old as each other.

No need to go to all that trouble
I haven't worked on a Fronterera but most vehicles would be the same.
Remove the wheel, use a big hammer and a solid punch and knock the broken stud from the hub while still in place on the vehicle.
To replace the new stud, put the stud back in through hole put the nut back on and tighten it up to pull the stud back into the wheel hub.
Note you might need to put some spacers or washers on the stud if the stud isn't threaded the full length.

I am with Rob on this.

The method he describes works very well.

One of the problems with taking the hub off is that you then have to find a way of holding it while you knock the broken stud out and pull the new one in.

If you want to do all 5 then do them all in the same manner, it won't take long.

If the bearings need or are due to be repacked or replaced do them when you are finished doing the studs.

Hi Roger
Just wondering, why the wheel stud sheared off?
Was it because the nut pick up a thread while removing it? If it was, to prevent this in the future make sure you put a small amont of grease or never-seize on all you wheel studs.
