Default Does a New Hub Come With the Studs?

And what keeps the studs in? Is it locktight? Or do you just screw them in like an other bolt?

Yes, the studs are preinstalled. They are press-fit into the hub.

Here's Jake Lathem's website depicting the installation of a front hub r&r with some great instructions and pics. Jake also has some other nice tutorials on his site.

Seems like excellent instructions. Unfortunately I know I will screw this up or get stuck. I'll have to take it to my new shop. I'm sure he knows what he's doing but I'll save these instructions for him.

BTW, I was when I saw this:


Cost: $155.00 each (or $600 at the Chevrolet dealer if
you’re a sucker.)
