The trick ended up being e-brake off, in neutral with pound and turn and it came right off.😅

Does anyone have any tips to get the new stud to 'bite'? I cannot for the life of me get the stud to seat properly. The part that seats in the hole seems just slightly too big and I can't get it to push through. I am quite sure it is the correct part number, per this thread.

Cheers,

Michael

Using the washers and crank with a breaker bar...just make sure it stays straight going through.

One of these special tools helps a lot by keeping the stud straight (washers tend to bend, making the stud pull crooked) ...

And a good source for studs is an old unit bearing. If you replace one, save the lugs.
