Re: emergency!!!
you will have to remove the castellated nut pull the hub off.and either press or knock the studs out.and press or knock the new ones in..

Re: emergency!!!
As he says... but what you need to do is undo the big nut before jacking up and taking wheel off.. as you need a big socket bar and someone pressing on the brake pedal if the hand brake wont hold it... its done up bloomin tight.... to do it up you need to do the same... bloomin tight.... 357ftlbs IIRC

Re: emergency!!!
the rear bolts are splined below the flat head.the inside of the holes in the hub are also splined.you can get them from baxter.

Re: emergency!!!
Not wishing to sound patronising but, as you haven't done this before, take it to a local garage. The old studs have to be knocked out before the new ones can be fitted and if you just start wacking them with a lump hammer it might lead you down a path you wished you never took.

Yes you were begining to frighten me too! There are certain areas in DIY vehicle Mechpanicks where the keen and willing but uninitiated can go badly wrong and you just stumbled on one. Others include brakes, steering, fuel (petrol) lines and of course seat belts.
Mind you even paid mechanics can be caught getting the wrong end of the stick and it will be the customer who pays at both ends of the deal.
