Had to break a wheel stud off today since one of my lug nuts cross threaded and got stuck on removal. How hard is it to replace it. I know everything needs to come off but is the install possible without bending or cutting anything?

oh wow, thats pretty bad, are you ever gonna get it fixed?
Yeah just gotta buy a new bearing and take it to my mechanic since I don't have any of the tools to take out the bearing and cut the race from the hub.

Slam hammer the hub till it comes off, takes a lot of repeated hits. Knock out bad stud. Knock in new stud. Slam hammer hub back onto axle. Afterwards take some time to curse about why they didn't add a 1/2" extra space to remove stud without needing to remove the hub.
