broken lug stud repair?
how do you guys repair broken lug stud for the front wheel without removing the hub? The back round water shield was in my way so I wasn't able to press it backward. It looks like I have to remove the hub to get to it but doing that might damaging my new wheel bearing which I don't want to go thru it again.
Here is the picture of that round water shield I referred to:

p.s. that's a old picture, please disregard the wheel bearing works.

if not get a dremel and make a notch around the part where the caliper goes.

thanks guy, I'll cut a small portion off that shield so I could stick in a socket to press it out.
therealgoon9,
you said the shield felt off after you cut it off. Does that means after you took it off, then dust shield can not be reused right?
Is it possible I could cut it off enough so I could get a new stud in without discarding the the entire dust shield? I think it's crucial to have it there to limit debris from getting into the wheel bearing area.
