how to replace 2000 front wheel studs?
I sheered off a few wheel studs when trying to change my tire and I need to know how to change my wheel studs on the left front tire.
Do i need to remove rotor? if so How? do i need special tools to pull the rotor or is there any special tricks? Someone said i can just "knock them threw the back" but that just seems like a disaster waiting to happen to me.
any help on this as i am new to this and in a bind being that my car is stuck and I cant bring it anywhere to fix it since it has no front tire. I also need to know what tools I need since I will have to borrow anything cool or special.
thank you very much

Most people use a punch and drive them out with a hammer.
The correct way is using tools such as the ones in the links below:

If you have a harbor freight nearby they might have something much cheaper.
The bottom of the stud is knurled to press into the hole in the hub.
When replacing with a new stud use a stack of washers over threaded area, use the nut to pull the stud into the hole.

well, problem might be quite different. you may not have enough clearance to punch a stud out (btw, what happened to g'ol hammer it out way? special tools?)
on some hubs, there is no service opening or recess for stud to come out through. in case like this, entire hub needs to be removed. most likely, hub bearing needs to be replaced, as those come as per-assembled unit with studs. I have one of those puppies on my pick up.
that being said, play it by ear. peek behind the stud and figure out if there's clearance enough to punch it out. or is there a recess somewhere in the hub for it to come though? on some hubs, you can cut stud right next to the hub and punch the short piece left out, but you still can not insert a full length new one in.
so, it all depends. I am betting 5 bucks, it's bearing replacement. as assembly with studs.
btw, brass mallet works very well to punch studs out, or dead hammer.
good luck.
