Is it possible replace broken studs on the front driver side with out first removing the wheel hub assembly. This is something I have fixed before on a different vehicle and it was not an issue. But on this Toyota, there is a splash guard in place. I have all the stuff necessary to change the studs but if it requires the removal of the wheel hub asssembly, I don't have a socket for the spindle or the Torque specs. I can replace the stud for $10 but many of the businesses I called request much more money.

there may be a spot to put the stud in as the shield doesn't go all the way around ther eis a space where caliper is as you have to take that off and rotor anyhow. but if you have to replace two studs replace the hub
