Default Replacing rear wheel studs?

How difficult is it?

I have managed to shear one, hoping knocking the broke stud out and replacing will be fairly straight forward?

Thanks, sorry wasn't that obvious in the FAQ.

That wheel once ran with a few loose nuts that let it wobble a bit about 10months ago. Maybe that weakened them slightly.

Replacing the broken stud seems straight forward enough.

You're right. But it's still there

Anyway, it's not horrible.

Just fish through the phone book for a competent shop to replace the bearing for you. (unless you have the tools needed to do so)

Other than that DIY

I think replacing the studs was one of the harder things I've done on my car. If you want to get new bearings pressed in you pretty much need to take it to a shop. I took off the whole knuckle assembly and took that to honda tech buddy and had him press the new ones in.
