I stripped a wheel stud, how hard is to replace the lug stud on the rear. Any help would be a super.

 

It's quite an involved process actually. I just had two in the rear replaced. It took a skilled mechanic (not me) about 2.5 hours. Unless you really know what you're doing, I would take it to someone who does since you end up taking apart the E-brake and most of the rear suspension. You also remove the caliper, rotor, and some other stuff that I didn't see.

 

As per SI:


Front Wheel Bearing and Hub Removal
Tools Required
J 42188 Ball Joint Separator

Notice: The Front and Rear Wheel Hub/Wheel Speed Sensors are not interchangeable. When you are replacing a Wheel Hub/Wheel Speed Sensor be sure to use the correct Wheel Hub/Wheel Speed Sensor part number. Do not mount the Rear Wheel Hub/Wheel Speed Sensor in the front steering knuckle. The Rear Wheel Hub/Wheel Speed Sensor features a splined hole through the center of the bearing which mates to the drive axle. The Rear Wheel Hub/Wheel Speed Sensor requires the support of the drive axle and the drive axle nut clamped joint to properly carry the vehicle loads. Mounting the Rear Wheel Hub/Wheel Speed Sensor in the front steering knuckle can cause bearing failure and possible damage to the vehicle.
