I have a stripped wheel stud on one of my hubs. Are they easily replaced? Rig is a 26' Weekend Warrior tag toy hauler.
12" AL KO hub. Press in or screw in studs?

Have you tried to run a die nut down over the threads to clean it up?
I would think that the stud would be pressed in but I ould be wrong. I have a skid steer and they are pressed in. The shank may have serrated grooves. Take the drum off and see if you can drive it out using a block of wood and a 3# hammer. You may need a hydraulic press.

Thank you for the replies. Here's the follow up.
Stopped by a local trailer supply store, and showed the counter person the same pic I posted here. He asked how many I wanted. Suspecting 2 were bad, I got 6. They are pound in.
After removing the hub, a few sharp blows with a framing hammer and the offenders popped right out. Set the new ones with the hammer head, and used one of the old studs to drive them home. Repack bearings, preload, and button it all up. Less than an hour with simple tools.
