Wheel Stud Replacement
Have a quick question. i snap my wheel stud in the front driver side. And in order to replace the wheel stud, Do i have to remove the brake caliper and remove the hub?
Or can i just pound the stud out without with a hammer and replace the stud like in this 2nd video i found here?

hammering out the wheel studs is REALLY REALLY bad on the wheel bearings as they arent designed to take a lateral shock.
better way to do it is to use a large-ish ball joint puller (local autozone part no. 43631 , harbor freight part no. 99849 works too but you have to crank it from inside the car) and an impact wrench to press the old stud out, then use a couple washers and a nut (not a lug nut.... lexus studs are 12mm X1.5) to tighten the new stud into place.
ball joint puller will be applied like this:
