The hub wont need to come off unless you have extra long studs, theres just enough room to knock them out!

i snapped a rear stud on my single wheel transit, do i have to replace the whole assembly or can i replace just the stud..
is it an easy job?

same as above, the fronts are the same as the rears, they just knock out, and you stick a new on in it's place

you'll have to remove the drum to get the old one out and put the new one in tho

When I worked at the pit (aye lad!) some scum tried to nick some alloys off a car in the carpark.... they couldn't, they had lockers on, but the guy who's car it was didn't realise and drove off with 1 locking nut on each wheel... one fell off after a few hundred yards, lucky I suppose!

Don't risk a secondhand one from a scrappy, they're not that dear to buy new
