Stripped wheel stud - HELP!
So I changed the rear shocks on my 08 4x4 on Saturday. I had the one side back together, wheel on and everything, when I realized I had assembled the shock wrong. So I started taking it back apart. One of the wheel studs stripped out on me! It actually stripped out in the hub behind the wheel! I had to drill the lug nut out to get the wheel off. So how should I fix this? How do I disassemble the hub to get to the studs? Do they sell oversize studs to fix the stripped hub issue? Help please! Thanks in advance....

The video looks like the best way to remove the stripped stud.
I would install the same stud size as the old one.
To install the new stud you can use the lug nut with spacers and wrench it into the axle flange. I would use red locktite thread locker before pulling it into the flange.
Good luck,
Richard

With all respect, I don't think my vehicle is very similar to the one in the video. Mine has a parking brake and other stuff behind the hub flange. I don't think the stud would come out the back that easily. And also, the stud on mine actually turned in the hub itself, so that means the hub hole is likely enlarged beyond the point of engaging the new stud.
I appreciate the responses tho....
