[QUOTE="David., post: 6706949, member: 67"] Had this last year with a Volvo C30, front hub, same as the Focus. First problem was alloy wheel matching original was like rocking horse's, and going to be £250 for a near enough match. Drilled stud out with quality drill bit and then found only way to replace stud is to replace hub/bearing unit, no access to heads of studs from behind. If you can get a replacement rim cheaply, butcher this one off, save a load of grief. You might be lucky with a rear, *if* the stud heads are not similarly fouled by bearing housing, to the extent you cant press a new stud in. Not done rear, and not got vehicle here to check. Front one was easier because we could remove bottom assembly off strut and get it in the press, guess yours is fixed to the trailing arm and not easily removable. If you have to fit a new Generation 2 hub and bearing cartridge, you will HAVE to obtain a hub puller/installer kit of the correct size for Ford. You may persuade the old one out, but you will destroy the new bearing if you push the new unit in by pushing against the hub itself. You HAVE to install the new bearing with the special tool that acts on the outer race itself. Kit was £80 off the Bay because I could not scrounge one. Example below though link says LR.
