I have a 99 Accord. One of my wheel studs snapped when changing a tire. I was planning on replacing the stud myself. I removed the cap and spindle nut but now the hub itself is stuck and I can't get it off. I read how the wheel bearings are pressed into the hub but is the hub pressed onto the spindle? Btw it has rear drum brakes (not disc). Could the brakes be locking onto it somehow? the parking brake is released and it spins freely. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The hub should come off after you get the rear axle nut off. Can’t you replace the stud with the hub still on the car? I have always just knocked them in with a hammer, and slipped a new one in from the back and used a spacer and lug nut to pull it to rest in the hub.

 

There is nowhere to get behind the hub from or I would just try to knock it out and put a new one in from behind.. It has a solid plate on the backside. I've done this a few times before on different cars but never really ran into a problem like this before. But this is my first honda so...

 

Well, I got it. I modified a clutch puller I had lying around and with a couple strategically placed nuts on the remaining studs and the center pin against the shaft i was able to knock her loose. Once it got a little ways it slid right off. Thanks for responding though : )
