Is replacing hub the only fix for broken wheel stud? Can xe hub stud be replaced on existing hub. Dealer claims hub needs to be replaced. I've been reading forms but never sure if info is for xe.

 

Short answer is NO.

BUT .........

A Jaguar Dealer will only replace a hub. Jaguar do not list/supply studs separately and franchised dealers will not replace broken studs. That isn't to say it can't be done but it requires the hub to be removed from the vehicle to give sufficient clearance to press out the broken stud and press in the replacement from the rear.

If you can DIY, it makes sense but if you are going to be paying to have the hub dismantled and the stud removed/replaced then the additional labour would probably exceed any saving in not using a new hub.

Graham,

Thank you for your information. I'm debating whether diy or taking it to dealer.(Payed dealer $400 to change brake light bulb and $1000 brake pad change)

 

Where on earth is this dealer located ? (!!) They are coining it. $1000 just for brake pads is outrageous, are you sure there isn't more work in that quote ?
