Simple question. When replacing the wheel studs, do you need to take off the hub?

The shop manual says you can do it without removing the hub by using a nut and washer to pull it thru, just keep tightening the nut til the stud is seated, use a pry bar to keep the hub from turning, and make sure the new stud is started in the hole straight and dont let the stud turn.

you dont need to remove the hub. i just did this recently. just tighten the studs by hand as much as possible and then when you put the wheels on and tighten those it will pull the stud in the rest of the way.

Tap it out. You'll need to remove the caliper and turn the hub till the stud you want to remove is on the caliper side. It's different for every car, but I believe there is enough space to tap out the stud once the caliper is removed. Usually Toyota is good about drilling out a spot or leaving space for stud removal.

Kwanza26 is correct as usual. You can hammer the old studs out and install new ones on the car. I did waht prpnum1 suggested, but I tightened each stud using a couple nuts to ensure that the studs were seated before mounting the wheels.

yup that is it you can use the lug nuts to tighten as much as possible first before the wheel finishes it off

tapping out is ok, dont get carried away, could damage bearings, best to brace the hub with something and pound against that, shop manual shows a c-clamp type tool that you hook around the hub and tighten against the old stud. just a c-clamp with a u-shaped notch cut out to clear the back of the stud
