Chrysler Repair: replaceing stud, manual drawings, chrysler sebring

Question
When fixing a front passenger side flat on my 2001 chrysler sebring 6 cylinder 2 door. The stud that holds the wheel on snaped in half. How do I replace the stud?

Answer
Hi Bill,
I haven't experienced that snafu but based upon my looking at the shop manual drawings of the hub, I suspect that to replace a stud the hub is going to have to be removed and either brought to a machine shop for removal and install of a new stud or the a new hub (or used one from a wreck) installed in its place. There were two types of hub and bearing used in earlier years, but I don't know whether that changed by 2001. In either case (bolt-in or pressed-in) it appeared that a couple of special tools were needed to separate the hub and bearing from the steering knuckle so I am not sure whether you want to try this yourself (compare to the cost of the special tools it might be as economic to let the dealer do it).
It is worth noting that to do the task you have to go thru the steps necessary to service the half-shaft cv-boots, so it would be a good time to inspect those to see if they are fatigued and will need replacement soon. Then you can get that job out of the way at much lower cost than doing it later.
You may want to speak to a dealer service manager to see whether there is another way to remove and replace the stud other than how I see it.
