The "stud" is part of the ball joint, which you can replace. I would try finding a die nut for it and try to repair the thread, unless you REALLY messed it up. No need for a new hub. Just need to bend the locktab down, and get a 1.5inch socket/spanner to fit the ball joint and you can replace it. You will need to set up the shims etc though. |

next time wind the nut out just past the thread of the ball joint and then hit it (whilst supporting the top or bottom arm). if i remember correctly, removing the bottom one first was the easier way. |

I was going to suggest getting a mechanic to help you. (before BIAM or Hanra got there first).
