Rear Wheel stud help

[atxjax]

Got a busted rear wheel stud. Am I going to be able to remove and replace it without having to take the whole axle out?


EDIT..............


Nevermind. I found this thread.

yes. a new one will go in from the back side w/out having to pull the axle. I've done it. you just have to find the right position for it to go in.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I plan on letting the stud sit overnight in the freezer to contract just a bit.

couldn't hurt I guess, but I just stacked some washers on the stud and used a standard lug nut (on backwards) then pulled the stud in with my impact wrench.
