I just need to know if I have to REPLACE the hub to change the (front) studs?

Driving on Saturday and ALL the studs on the front right side sheared off and my wheel shot off! awesome!

put on replacement studs and they are barely long enough to get the lugs on and we had to FORCE them into the hub. I know we need longer studs. can i just take the hub off then put it back on? i'm worried its gonna fall apart or something.

 

Check Rockauto, the have studs that are 34.5 millimeters long and also 41.5 mm long. I don't know if 7mm will make the long enough or not. The studs are supposed to be pressed in so that they don't come out on their own when the lug nuts are off.

 

I know i need the longer studs. i just need to know if i need to REPLACE the hub. I've never removed a hub before but i'm mechanically inclined and i have help.

 

I don't know what it looks like. However you will have to remove the hub/rotor if you cannot access the backside of them. I just take a hacksaw, cut them flush with the rotor surface, then punch them out. Install insert the stud from the backside, screw on lug nut. With a 4 way tighten the nut to pull the stud all the way in.
