Easiest way to replace lug stud on driver side front?
Hey all, back when I damaged my car, one of the driver side studs became a problem and I had to massacre it pretty good to get the wheel off. Whats the easiest way to fix or replace this stud
Thanks!

Replace the rotor. They are cheap enough that it isn’t worth hassling with pressing out and pressing in a new stud.

If the rotor is old, just replace it, otherwise you need to remove the rotor and use a press to push out the old stud and a new one in...

Knock it out with a hammer and use a old nut and a couple washers to pull the new one through. Takes longer to jack up the car and pull the wheel than swap it out.
