So, turns out replacing studs on the front of these cars sucks *****. Need to get a bearing puller and remove the whole hub apparently. Anyone have any experience with this?

I didnt think you needed any sort of puller to do the job. I thought all you have to do is move the wheel and brake parts followed by removing the axle nut. Once the nut is removed the entire hub assembly should come out. Once the assembly is out, knock out the old stud and put a new one in

I guess I will have to try that. I read somewhere that someone had to pull the bearings. I'll get some pics next teardown I do, prolly on sunday.

They were probably referring to the hub assembly. The hub assembly contains a bearing but there is no need to mess with it when replacing a stud. I am not sure if the studs are press fitted or actually screwed into the assembly. If they are press fitted you can just knock them out with a hammer and a punch. Otherwise I think you will need a torx bit to unscrew them from the assembly

Hey Guys, I figured I'd ask local guys since it would be easier not to ship these. I have 2 12 inch Kicker CVR's in a box with a Kicker ZX300.1 Amp for sale. They were used in my 2003 Explorer but no longer need them with my 10 inch stocker in the back of the ss/sc. They are in great condition and I am asking 125 dollars. I am willing to meet somewhere to deliver (unless its more than an hour away). Interested or need picts just shoot me a pm.

Thanks!
