Do u have to remove the hub to replace one wheel stud? Only video i can find is them doing the rear. Mines driver side front. Was going today to get the bolts to screw in to pull rotor off but if i have to remove the hub ill just let a mechanic do this

 

There is one way to replace the stud without removing the hub but it requires grinding one side of the stud. Here is a post describing the process for a 3g tl and 2 videos showing the process for a 2005 accord and another for the tsx. Grinding the stud seems dicey but removing the hub sounds like a pain.

I'm glad mine broke off in the rear. I didn't need to remove anything but the snapped studs. I hate the idea of grinding down a stud.

 

For the front...

You cut the old one out so you can remove it in peices.

Then you buy a new stud and either grind the head down a bit OR buy a clip head stud if they exist.

the clip head stud has a portion of the head "clipped" as part of manufacturing. So it saves you the step of grinding it.

Or...yeah, remove the hub to do it. You need to buy a new wheel bearing. You probably want to buy a new hub too, instead of pressing the old one back in.

 

but u have to grind the dust shield and the spindle too not just the stud right?
