Have to have the front hub bearing pressed to replace the fronts. Rears just slam out with the mighty thor hammer.

How the hell did you break 2 out of 4...and would love to know how your dealer swapped them out.

I've replaced studs on all corners and never needed to press anything. Just saying.

Yeah get them in and use an open ended nut to crank em down straight.



I guarantee someone will say otherwise but it worked for me, so fuck it.
