On a UK98. Do you have to take the hub off ? Do you need a hub puller ?
Thought I'd find out what is involved before starting !!!
Cheers !

The proper way is to remove the drive shaft flange from the hub and press the old studs out and press the new ones in. However it is possible to knock the old studs out and pull the new ones in on a wheel nut. You should use an old nut as it will damage it if you are not carefull.
Be aware that using this method may not seat the studs all the way home and you shold check your wheel nuts regularly for the first week. If you are putting longer studs in you will have to undo the allen bolts that secure the ABS ring.

I hope this helps

Many thanks Colin !
Not sure now whether I want to do it myself (too old/lazy/drunk/all of the above - select appropriate ).
Thanks,
Stan
