OK, so basically I'm wondering how easy it is to replace the wheel studs and maybe the hub as well on the front passanger side. I had a lugnut fall off, and it rolled around inside my centercap of my wheel and broke off 2 more of the studs, so I'm sitting on 1 wheel stud and lugnut right now. Does anyone know how easy this is and can I do this with normal tools? Do I have to disconnect any control arms, tie ros, brakes and all? Thanks in advance! Jared ... all help is appreciated. I'm towing the car to either my house or the dealership after work, so please let me know asap!

Tow to dealer.
Edit: A little tricky on these cars; caliper and tie rod , axle nut (hi-torque), hub remover, press out old, press in new bolts.

ok, thanks for your input ... I'll tow to the dealer in a couple hours unless someone else convinces me otherwise ... I mean I've done brakes before and stuff, just never messed with a hub or wheel studs ... Is the hub easy to remove or do you need a special tool, do I have to support the axle in any way, or what else might be the reason why you recommend I take it to the dealer? anyone please fee free to respond

2 studs broke on my passenger side too. Had the local shop replace all 4 for $17 parts + 1 hour labor. He said he didn't take the whole hub apart, that the studs were just short enough to jimmy into place with the hub loosened.

If you pull the caliper and the rotor, you should have just enough room to pop out the old studs and put in new ones without having to remove the hub from the axle or steering knuckle.

I've replaced 3 wheel studs on my car without removing anything but the tire. Took me about 10 minutes to replace each time I had to.
