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?

    Update: found a shop trying to install it. Good news they took the stud out, bad news is the thread of holding the stud is gone and wheel bearing is necessary. Any thoughts?

        Will be arriving soon. Thanks for the advice. Should have been doing it earlier. But how did the threads gone? I did put it in and out couple of times.

          Fourteen year old threads in a spot that sees some of the most moisture and dramatic heat cycling will rarely come out clean. On top of that the hub is designed to replaced instead of serviced (See; cheap) so it’s a losing battle in the first place.

          Sorry for being a grump! Glad you’re almost back on the road.
