replacing front studs

[elmaso]

just wanted to be pointed in the right direction here, i was told to heat up the studs and hammer them into the hub (front left) then once its on the car chuck the nuts on and give them a good tighten, have i missed anything there?

cheers

Never heated studs in my life, no point, fit them cold.

If they are standard nuts just use the nut on backwards to pull them in, if not, get some standard nuts and if necessary use a larger nut and maybe washer as a spacer.

Heating the studs would cause them to expand and make them harder to instal - rambunctious is correct.
