Hub Nut size?
Ok guys trying to change a couple of broken wheel studs. I need to know what size the large nut holding the hub on is.
also any other info on making this go smoothly would be appreciated.

I have the same problem, bought the car with a busted wheel stud. I looked up the replacement procedure in the shop manual, and to press out the wheel studs you first need to completely disassemble the hub, which means pressing the wheel bearing out. This means you'll need to buy a new wheel bearing and have a shop press it back in after replacing the wheel studs.
This was more work/money than I wanted to spend on a simple wheel stud (what a stupid design!) so I just found a used hub assembly with a good wheel bearing and bought that, MUCH cheaper and significantly easier.
I've never had an issue getting the axle out of the hub without damaging the wheel bearing, a drift pin and a dead blow should pop it out with no issues.

Not kinda stupid, really stupid . I've replaced wheel studs on quite a few different cars over the years and never had to press a wheel bearing out, don't see why this one should be any different. Way easier/cheaper to just buy another hub and swap them out.
