VXOC Astra-J/GTC

Hi, replaced brakes on front of car and the stud on the hub snapped.
So there's 4 holding wheel on instead of five.
What's the best way to fix this?
Thanks guys

Isn't the stud part of the hub?

if so I would say a new hub is needed or a 2nd hand one.

Not sure, Google says your can replace them individually but knowing vx is have to change the whole hub. They expensive on a j do you know?

No problems mate, you might be able to whack it out with a nice hefty lump hammer.

I know mine is a STUD, M12, WHEEL TO HUB Part number 9599302 Autovaux charge £2.21 so I can't see it being much dearer from a dealer and they would get it in quicker.

Local dealer £2.57 each. Happy days.
