Front Lug Nut/Stud Removal From '92 Accord

I snapped off a lug nut while rotating the tires on my '92 Accord-is
this a difficult job to put in a new stud? I really don't want to
drive around on 3 lugs.This is the front pass. wheel. TIA!

Sorry, but the entire hub needs to be pressed off the steering knuckle
before the new stud can be installed.

you can remove the hub bearing without a press on the accord [it unbolts
from behind the knuckle] and drive in the new stud without any problems.

all this said though, how did you break the stud? do you use a torque
wrench? if not, you should. always. and i would probably recommend
that if you're not into the torque wrench thing, that you have the stud
replaced by someone that is - you don't want the knuckle assembly
falling apart.

don't need a press - the bearing assembly unbolts, so you can access the
studs the same way as replacing the brake disk.
