I was trying to replace a stud for my 09 Altima 2.5. didn’t find any space or gap to get the stud out. Tried to spin whatever the position it can be but no luck. Any advice? Anyway that can take that thing off cost effectively?

The notch in the backing plate makes it look like you’re in the right spot, what’s it getting hung up on? The head of the stud on the knuckle side of the bearing? Can you angle it more at all?
If not get a file or a dremel and grind down one side of the head enough to clear. You may need to do the same to the replacement.
This. Grind down the head of the new stud. On the bad one you can just cut it in half for removal.
I second this, grind off a bit of the head so it clears, and hopefully it makes it out through that notch
Does rotary tool sufficient? Don’t have a grinder.
U can cut any spot thats easiest. If cutting the bolt in half gives enough clearance, u dont have to play around in the tight area
Yup. Cutting wheel, or diamond cutting wheel on a rotary tool
Yeah rotary tool is what I meant by dremel. Heck you could file them by hand, or use a hack saw, it’d just be slow.
Great let me try it first. Thanks:)
With a rotary tool you could grind off the two stripped threads and keep the stud. It would lose negligible strength if any. Just bevel the sides after.
