Honda Repair: 98 honda accord wheel stud replacement, wheel studs, wheel hub

Question
I got a 98 Honda accord lx 4 cyl. need front wheel studs replaced. will i have to have the wheel hub machine pressed, or will i be able to just remove the hub and knock them out? Thanks for your time.

Answer
i cant say specifically for this car, we don't do them to often, but some hubs you can shave the head off the stud to make one side flat and be able to knock it in.
but really, most of the time you have to press out the hub from the bearings to have enough room. it sucks but it could be worse.
i'm sure you can find a shop that will take the hub and do it for you. save you some money on just getting the hub off the car. you should go ahead and replace the bearing too. once they are opened up and messed with, it is far more likely for them to go out.
