Sorta right place, sorta not. Stupidly stripped one of my wheel studs and I've got no idea how to replace them. Really need it done tomorrow before the weekend.
Would a mechanic be able to do it on the spot? wouldn't be a problem except I'm working at Warragul tomorrow so don't know any mechanics or anything there
Wasn't able to get anybody to replace the stud for me... picked up a new stud from Nissan though. How do I go about getting the old one out, just bash with a hammer? Then what about getting the new one in, just put it in from the back and tighten a nut onto it? Would I need to remove any of the brake components? It's on the rear left wheel if that makes a difference.

been through the factory manual available on here. Can't find the info. Went through Haynes. Same deal.
Now, I've done this to a boat trailer, but never a Patrol. That's how I'd do it, no idea about brakes etc - it may be that there is a position you can rotate the axle to so as to get max clearance. I think I'd try to line up the splines and grooves.

Yeah, just take the wheel off, bash the old one out and pull the new one back through with a new or good nut.
No need to remove the brakes on a GU.
Cheers, the ferret.
Hopefully it is the same on the mightier GQ! If it really is that easy I will probably do the whole lot, thanks for the info! Wasn't too keen on taking the brakes off because I'd probably put them back on wrong or something lmao
i had to remove the callipers and the stone guard from mine to replace the studs but i was doing all as 3 had been sheared off and the rest chewed out from the rim rubbing on it .. pic below may help if its only one and you just remove the callipers and rotate the axel to that spot you should be able to do it easily enough
If its the rear you will have to remove the caliper and does make life easier to remove your rotor as well. They only sit on the rear and the wheel holds the rotor in place. Remove wheel, remove caliper and rotor, knock old studs out (there is a cutout at a certain position which you will easily notice) put new ones in and reassemble.
