2004 xjr, front hubs, there’s no space to slide in new studs? Tell me I’m wrong that I have to remove hub to replace wheel studs?

Given the age of the vehicle, it may be more beneficial to replace the hub assembly, which includes the wheel studs. The part number is superseded to the later version:

Always check part numbers against the vehicle's VIN for proper fitment.

Appreciate the response but it didn’t answer my question. Has AI infected the forum?

You need to remove the hub assembly to replace the wheel studs. This is not an AI message.

And start soaking that wheel hub with alot of penetrant cause those hubs dont separate easly from that knuckle​​​

We are here to help. There is no need to be antagonistic.

The hub is steel and goes into an Aluminum upright. As posted above with the two different metals in contact it will be frozen together. Your also in salt country so expect it to be bad. When re-assembling use Anti-Seize on the steel hub where it contacts the Aluminum upright.

You might find the 4 bolts that attach the hub to the upright to be rusted solid too. They may need to be broken off to remove the hub. Just depends on the rust situation.

I also agree with a new hub instead of fighting with the individual studs. Plenty of them out there so decide if you want to take a chance with off brand parts or pay more for the Jaguar ones. Your car-your choice.

there is room to knock the studs out, did it my self after one stud broke when putting on summer tires.
You have to take at brake caliper off and there is a little hole that is big enought for you to knock the stud out thru

Good luck and let us know how this worked out. I have attempted that before. I ended up replacing the entire hub. Got the broken stud out but damaged the stud trying to "draw" it back in over the splines by tightening the lug nuts on the stud. I think it would work if you could somehow use a hydraulic press to push the stud home. That's how I use to do it on older cars.
