Broke one of the studs on the front passenger side yesterday. It only broke off maybe 7 or so millimeters, so i thought if i can fix the thread on the broken stud, it'd still be usable. Couldn't manage to fix the thread, and neither could my mechanic, so a new stud is needed.
My query is if the stud will foul on the hub when tying to remove or trying to put a new one in.
I know that i can just cut the broken stud off so that it can clear the hub to come out, but just wondering if there is enough clearance to get a new stud in. Is the dust cover the only clearance issue?
That would save me the hassle of having to pull the whole hub out.
