Apart from replacing the studs, I am almost certain there would have been other damage ... imagine wheel coming off and the inertia trasfer inside the whell well ... and the rotor nose diving into asphalt. ... not pretty!

Just to clarify for anyone replacing rear wheel studs- the brakes and rotor must come off first, then the studs are accessable for removal.

i want to replace my studs in the rear and was wondering if the brake pads need to come off or can the old and new studs be positioned at one point.

thanks,

The latter.
