[Spits] wheel stud

[Greg Rowe]

I've never had any problem knocking them out with a few dead
blows from a hammer.  Is there enough left to do this?  I'm not
sure how you are using a tool that ends up with it bent.

No need to remove the hub, the old one can be slipped out the
back and the new one slipped in.  A lug nut and a stack of washers
will pull the new one into place.  Make sure the hub isn't damaged
so the knurled part stays in place - it's a really crappy feeling when
you go to un-do a lug nut and it just spins.

Good luck!

Greg
