one of my wheel studs was totally stripped and i was planning on replacing it today. but i after i took a good look at everything and removed my caliper and rotor i noticed that the hub absolutly needed to come off in order for the stud to be replaced. getting the old one out was easy i just cut it off with a wheel. what should i do, going to the dealer is out of the question. any help is appreciated..

thank you

 

They must be pressed out and in. It's a PITA.

For God sakes if Honda does it, watch them as they take your wheel off, because when they did this to mine, they scarfed my wheel pretty bad. With all seriousness, I was told that for some reason it is hard to do it without replacing the bearing????? I dont know why, but that is what Honda told me.
