Wheel Mounting Studs - Rear: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: DO NOT hammer studs 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.
  1. Remove the hub and bearing from the vehicle. (Refer to SUSPENSION/REAR/HUB / BEARING - REMOVAL)
    CAUTION: Take care to keep hub and bearing assembly from falling during stud removal. Damage to the hub and bearing could result.
  2. Position the hub and bearing assembly under a hydraulic press ram, supported by a 21 mm deep-well impact socket under the stud to be replaced. See Fig 1.
