Does anyone know if it's possible to replace wheel studs without taking the hub assembly out of the knuckle? Also, I broke the speed sensor wire out of the sensor, is it possible to replace this?
Thanks

I *know* the fronts you have to dissemble the hubs to replace the studs. UNLESS you cut the ABS sensor wheel off while the hub is assembled. I don't remember the rears exactly, but I think you can replace them without much hassle. Someone will have to confirm this.

As for the sensor, I would just get one from a board member. I'm sure you can get a used one easily.

Rears can be removed, yes.

As far as the sensor goes, the fronts are easy to replace. The rears usually get destroyed removing them.

Aren't the speed sensors an ABS part? Why would you even care? It's 1/2 way to disabling the shitty ABS.
