Hey all, I've got a problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with...

I've got VTI hubs and disks on my EJ9 Civic and managed to snap a wheel stud the other day

Had a look online and I found a few guides that mentioned removing the caliper and disk and knocking out the old stud then grinding down the head of the new one and slipping it back in, simple! especially since I don't have access to a machine press

But... they're using stock hubs in thier guides, and i've tried it on my old stock hubs and it is that simple, I managed to knock out one of the studs so I have a replacement now but i still cant get the original one out of the VTI hub, and whats more, even if I do, I have no idea how I'm going to get the new one in!

the difference is the hub shape behind the disk mount is slightly different, the VTI one is just a bit bigger and heftier than the stock EJ9 one, so its nearly impossible to slip a new stud in at a straight enough angle

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get it in without taking the hub apart? maybe EK4 owners have had this problem before?

Thanks in advance!

Thought I'd add some pics to clarify:

The snapped stud!...


Finally managed to get the snapped stud out...sawed it twice...


But now there's no space to get the new one in!


Any advice would be helpful!
