Wheel Stud / Lug Nut: Service Precautions

CAUTION: If a wheel mounting stud needs to be replaced in the hub and bearing assembly the studs CAN NOT be hammered out of the hub flange. If a stud is removed by hammering it out of the bearing flange, damage to the hub and bearing assembly will occur leading to premature bearing failure.
