So i replace a wheel stud and got my studded snow tires on. however I had an issue getting the new wheel stud in. come to find out that you have to pull the rear brakes all apart and disconnect the abs ring. getting the stud out wasn't hard if i moved it away from the wheel sensor. however since you need a 32 mm to get the axel nut off...if you flip it over you can use that and a lug nut to pull the new stud into place. found this useful and thought I'd share. after fulling with it for 20 mins i tired this and it was a snap

I guess I take that kind of stuff for granted sometimes...this is how I always install wheel studs. Although I usually use a spare lug nut rather than one I plan on using on the car.
