A month or so ago I managed to snap one of my rear wheel studs - i know, i know

I've brought a couple of replacement studs, as there's another one on the same hub that looks a bit wonky.

Does anyone have any pointers in replacing the studs that

A- Doesn't involve me beating severn shades of shit out of the hub with a hammer and screwing up my new geo in the process

B- Removing the hub assembley and having to press in a new bearing

Not tooo much to ask, I know. My first thought was to angle grind to old nut off, then drift in the new nut, but the shit guard gets in the way, can the rear guard be removed without stripping the hub?

Any pointers would be useful before I go native with the hammer

There's no easy solution to this one...its a very labour intensive job and you should replace the bearing whist the hub is dismantled.

Have a look at this thread

Oh yes I've done the background reading, I was just wondering if the septics were over complicating things (it has been known)

I'm pretty sure you get 5 wheel studs because one is "spare". Should be fine just using 4.
