buy a new stud from a dealership, they are under 4 quid each

what kind ov a job is it to replace studs on the front and rear of a p1 as i've got some crossed

gljam

whip the wheel off, loosen off the caliper, remove the disc and clout the old sod out with a hammer

just make sure you've positioned the car so that it's clear for the stud to be removed from behind once it's been knocked out of the hub.

once it's out, get the new stud and thread it through the hole from the back of the hub, replace the disc and tighten up the caliper, then put a nut on and tighten it, this will pull the new stud through properly and tighten it back up, same thing again once you have the wheel on
