    I have the caliper and rotor off and cant bang the broken stud through
    because it hits the wheel hub. Do I have to remove the hub. If so is
    it just the large nut in the middle? Thanks:)

  3. Depends entirely on model and year. May help to know if you have ABS also.

    Geez...dont know what I was thinking:) It is a 1998 honda civic 2 door.
    I got as far as taking caliper and rotor off. I then removed the large
    axle nut but nothing happened. I know somehow I have to remove the hub
    assembly?(part the holds the lug studs) because I cant bang them through
    as I have done in the past with other cars. With this car the rear of
    the studs will not clear the back piece in order to remove them...
    Thanks!! :)Nate

    Here's a link to a factory service manual for a '98 Civic Aerodeck,
    http://tinyurl.com/2n2gbw . The front hub assembly may be similar to
    your '98 2 door.

    Hello Eric, Thanks so much but my dumb webtv could not open the link.
    I looked at the Haynes manual and it had no mention of it either...wow.
    Thanks again Eric :)Nate

    The link is to a pdf file. You'll need a pdf reader, e.g., Adobe Acrobat or
    something else, to view the file so you may need to use a computer to
    download the file and open it. I really have no idea what you may or may
    not be able to do with webtv.
