  2. If possible, install a standard wheel mounting nut (2) on the wheel mounting stud (5) being removed far enough so the threads on the stud are even with end of lug nut.
  3. Rotate the hub so the stud requiring removal is aligned with the notch cast into the front of the steering knuckle (4).
  4. Install Remover (1), Special Tool C-4150A, on the hub flange and wheel stud.
  5. Tighten the Remover, pushing the wheel mounting stud out the rear of the hub flange. When the shoulder of the stud is past the flange, remove the Remover from the hub.
