Front stud stripped


Recommended Posts

My sister went to have new tires installed on her 2009 AWD, and the tire shop couldn't get one of the lug nuts off on the right front.  I took a quick look at it and the stud itself is spinning in the hub (I opened a hole on the decorative outer trim cap to see the stud center).   Is there enough room behind the hub to tack weld the stud down to the back of the hub in order to pull the wheel off?

 

She's going back today because they said they could change the stud, but in case they run into a problem, I'd like to know what my options are.  If we can get it apart, I'll change the hub/bearing.

 

Also, are these front hubs problematic where it might be better to replace both front hub/wheel bearings?

 

Thanks.

 

John
