wheel studs... please help

k so one of my wheel studs is bent and i need another...now my question is how big of a job is this..should i just get a dealership to do it or attempt this myself..i see there is no how-to for it so i dunno if after i take off the rotor if i have enough clearance to slide in the stud behind the hub

not sure what's involved, but taking off the rotor isn't hard at all. you could always take off the wheel, and see if you can see behind the rotor. not sure, i never looked.

you can drive the old stud out and install a new stud. I've used installers to do so at the dealer. the do it yourselfer can use flat washers and a wheel lug to pull it through. just use care not to stretch the threads on the stud though.
