Re: Broken rotor stud
The studs can easily be replaced, all you have to do is remove the brake caliper and the nut for the spindle bearing and slide off the rotor. The next step you would turn the rotor so you are looking at the back side and remove the inside bolts which hold the rotor to the hub( it is best to mark the rotor and hub with a mark so you can line the marks back up when putting back together), now just seperate the two pieces you might have to hit it with a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to break it loose. now just hit the stud with a hammer and it will pop out it shouldnt take much to get it out, if its broken flush use a punch to hit it out.to put the stud back in just tap it back in until it is bottomed out the job shouldnt take more than hour. When rebolting the hub and rotor back together it is a good idea to use a little blue lock tight on the threds of the bolts.
