You want an entry level IT guy? I can learn that rather quickly.

It's getting a hub/bearing and knuckle.
I was lucky enough to find a used one FS off a totaled car.

Have you ever successfully pulled that bearing race back off of a hub before, Chris? It looks like it could be possible but I'm not sure it would be too easy.

The knuckle/hub assembly goes together in such a way that it makes it impossible to fit a new lug stud into the hub without tearing apart the whole mess.

Unfortunately dissembling the mess requires the destruction of the wheel bearing because it is press fit between the hub and the knuckle. It is impossible to pop it out without pulling it apart and rendering it useless.

So... If you break a stud, you pretty much have to replace the wheel bearing unless you get creative. We can see what happens when you get creative...
Cool.. I was curious, but didn't want to ask
