Hyundai Repair: replacing a lug stud from a 2003 Santa Fe, hub assembly, caliper


Question
How do you remove the front hub assembly on a 2003 santa fe in order to replace a lug stud

Answer
Actually, I'd recommend not removing the hub.  Usually, when the hub is removed, the bearing pulls apart, requiring replacement of the bearing.  

If you remove the caliper, you should be able to hammer the stud out through the back of the hub.  Then install the new stud using a hammer and punch.  If the new stud won't quite fit, grind a flat on one side of the flange so it will squeeze by the axle.
