None of those answers are correct, as they obviously have never worked on an Xterra. As an Xterra owner myself, and automotive TECHNICIAN... You need to remove the rotor/hub assembly. To do this, you will need a 6mm allen head to take out the 6 bolts holding your hub onto the assembly. Once this is off, you will have to remove a snap ring from around the CV axle input splines. Once that is off you will be able to remove the bearing assembly inside. Take a 14mm socket, and remove the 6 bolts holding the hub onto the rotor. You will also need to remove the caliper from the rotor, and hang it with a piece of wire up and out of the way, being sure not to let it hang free or drop. With the caliper off, and all the bolts out you should be able to remove the rotor/hub assembly from the CV splines. Then you can seperate the hub from the rotor, which will probably be rusted on (Cushion the face of the rotor on a towel, and being sure not to hit the rotor, hit the flat surface of the hub with a hammer which will break loose the rust). Tap the top of the old studs out thru the back of the hub...then tap the back of the new studs in. They need to be able not to slide in and out of the bore, but don't necessarily have to be flush with the hub. Once you get everything back together and tighten the lugs on, it will pull the studs the rest of the way thru the hub and seat them properly.

Hopefully this helps...There is no need to take it to a machine shop or do ANY kind of pressing in or out. There is NO giant hub nut and cotter pin to remove.

Remove the plate to access the pump. Remember the fuel system is under pressure. Also remember to cause no spark the gas will be flammable. Should you need further help please just ask.

SOURCE: broken wheel studs

Hello there:
Normally these studs are pressed in by a machine
If you get a sledge hammer and a solid iron bar you can use this to get them off it takes a lot of doing but they will come off you may cioncider soaking the studs in penetrating oil for about 15 to 20 min before you attempt to get them off due to rust and build up.
If this does not work i would take the wheel to a shop that has a press ands have them get them off and have the new ones pressed in
Also You can heat the area around the stud with a torch and then use the sledge hammer ok ?
If you have the new studs and they are the right ones great, if not a local wheel or place that does rims should have them they cost around $2.00 a piece Ok?
Hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards Michael

SOURCE: I have abroken wheel stud on a 2003 Nissan Sentra,

did u know u should be able to pound out the stud and replace it?

anyway.. remove tire, remove brake calliper, remove rotor, remove the cap in the middle of the wheel bearing (hub) and remove the big nut.

there is 3 or 4 bolts behind the hub that hold the wheel bearing (hub) on, remove those. Get a hammer and a chisel and separate the wheel bearing from the rest of the housing.

How do u fix a rear stud on a 1999 Nissan Maxima

You will need to remove the Rear Wheel, Brake Caliper, and Rotor to replace the Stud. Once those are removed, take a Hammer and hit the Wheel Stud from the front to drive the Stud out through the back of the Wheel Hub. Once the Stud is out, take the new Stud and insert it in the Hub from the back. You will need to get a Open Ended Nut with the proper thread size as the Stud and thread it on the Stud, and tighten the Nut till the Stud comes all the way through the hole and the end of the Stud is flush with the back of the Hub. Remove the Nut and you can now put everything back together.
