Problem removing studs from hub on 99 4WD SD

I'm replacing the front wheel bearings/hubs on my 99 F250 4wd and the new one did not come witht the 4 studs that are used to mount it to the knuckle(NOT THE WHEEL STUDS, THE 4 MOUNTING STUDS).

I tried to remove the old studs from the hub and they dont want to come wout with locking pliers and I also tried the 2 nut trick and the studs dont wanna come out.

Any tricks I dont know about to get them out?

Does ford stock these usualy?

I'd buy new ones. You should be able to get them from ford, or a generic replacement

Yeah i went to ford and bought them. I lucked out they had 4 left in stock. I got a new axle dust seal as well.


Hey do you need a press to reinstall an upper ball joint or can you drive it in with a socket and a hammer?

Same here after doing 2 sets on luckly at least souther trucks they came out with a little heat. But when I battled my current truck that didnt happen. Go to ford they are like 9 bucks total.

I can change a wheel bearing in under 20 minutes now!
