I noticed some strange sounds and a wheel balance vibration on the front left wheel and discovered 2/5 lug studs had broken. Is it necassary to remove the hub to replace lug studs, or can I do it with the hub on the car?

 

Hub has to be completely removed front or rear. There is zreo clearance. Some cars can be notched to make room, not this one.

 

Ok. I wanted to try and do it myself, but after looking into it I decided it looked like more trouble than I wanted to deal with. I just drop it off at the local shop I use. I'm guessing $300 - $400 to have the hub pulled and the lug studs & bearing replaced. Does that sound about right?

 

damn thats a lot
i broke a stud before, not really that hard to replace it
local shop around me charges 60 to replace the studs, stud and lug nut included with labor
