    On the weekend my wife had a flat tyre, someone stopped to help her & snapped 2 wheel studs, any advice on this as to do I need to replace the whole hub or if the studs will come out once I remove the hub. Also is it difficult to remove the hub, I have only ever done it on older cars with no ABS.

    Just hit it from the wheel side with a hammer sharply and they will punch thru. They have splines on the back and a pan head which press fit into the hub. Buy a couple from Holden (will cost around $5) and put them in from the back and pull them tight with the wheel nuts. Don't over tighten them as you will break the new ones :)

    You will need a decent allen key to get the hub off (can't remember what size may have been 10mm? As well as a small sledge hammer to know the allen key....
