What is the procedure to replace a front wheel stud on a 1989 240 DL?

Can you replace the stud with the front hub on the vehicle? Is there enough
room behind the hub?

On other vehicles I have been able to punch the studs out while the hub is
on the vehicle, and replace them using the wheel nut and some washers to
pull the stud in place.

Thank you.

Yes, there's enough room. You should use some kind of press tool, not a
hammer to get the old one out.

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
(But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)

I believe I'll give it a try.

Thank you.

Would it be the same procedure on an 88 740 estate

Yes, different stud, but the same procedure otherwise.
