Front Hub Removal to Replace Wheel Studs
I have a broken front wheel stud, I removed the manual hub lock and brake caliper, but what's behind the manual hub lock has me baffled - just a hex head 12mm bolt and washer. I removed that , but the hub/rotor assy will not budge. How do I get the hub/rotor off so I can split them to remove the wheel stud?

Theres a snap ring, then a washer that fits on the axle, then the fun part...
There's 2 54mm nuts in there
Between them is a, well idk what it is, but its like a washer, and its got a few arms on it, and one of them bends forwards over the front nut, one of them bends back over the back nut
Youve got to bend those arms back to fit a 54mm socket on there, and the whole assembly should come right off after those 2 nuts are out...
Dont know if that made any sense, but I hope it helped...
