    Replacing front hub, will 4 studs come out?

    I replaced the hub today and used new studs. I was able to easily take out the old ones though. I will save them for when I do the other side someday. Thanks again for the input.

    I am getting ready to replace one of my front wheel bearing/hub assemblies. What are my chances of getting the 4 studs that attach the assembly out? Just curious if others have been able to get them out. Thanks
