AWD ABS wheel studs / wheel hub

[faithless13]

I am trying to replace my front passanger wheel studs. I got the rotor , caliper , 32mm axle nut off no problems. The axle inside the hub moves freely and is not rusted . I have a 3 arm puller and I am going to attempt to pull the hub tomorrow. Now is it safe to use the axle with the 3 arm puller to take the hub off. The hub looks pressed in to me so I really don't see any way of pounding it out unless I pull it off with the 3 arm. I searched and read some posts about this and it seems that a lot of people just replace the whole hub assembly with the hub. Well there has to be away to pull it out , i`m just replacing wheel studs for christ sake! This ABS BS is such crap I can't wait to get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. Also do I have to realign my wheels if I pull the whole assembly not just the pressed in hub wheel off? Thanks again!

You should be able to just pound the studs out with a hammer, after you take the rotor off. Then get a lug nut from a parts store for a dsm with steel wheels and use that, with a couple washers, to press in the new studs.
