mate it isnt going to be cheap. to remove the studs you need to press the hub out and once you press the hub out you need a new wheel bearing. take it to a mechanic to do because you need a press. It would probably cost you around $100-150 all up.

the reason is because honda did not make room incase you wanted to change a wheel stud, so the hub has to be pressed out.

Another solution is to buy a front hub assembley from the wreckers and hope that the bearing is ok.

you can try what he did in the video if you have an angle grinder.

yeah i got a angle grinder. it would be a cheaper option then getting a new hub or going out and buying a whole new set up.

what are studs worth these days anyway ????

studs are about $5 each, try the andgle grinder method if you are confident that you can do it.
