Replace Wheel Stud Question
on a 2001 civic, is it necessary to remove the wheel bearings to replace broken wheel studs? If so, will the bearings need to be replaced? This is what the mechanic is telling me and I'm doubting their honesty.

I have the same problem as you right now. The rear ones are easy to change and my mech did it in 5 minutes, but he says he'd need to take stuff apart for the front ones.

Re: Replace Wheel Stud Question
It's strongly advisable to replace the wheel bearings. Not only do you likely have decent mileage on your bearings, but when hub is pressed out of the knuckle the bearing separates putting even further stress on it. Pay for the labour once, replace it.
