You are not the OP, lol. But thanks for sharing.

We still don't know what the OP is driving. I tried to look up old posts and couldn't find if he has a 350 AWD or 350, or what.

2016 FSport 350 Awd..

Still haven't gotten this fixed, brought it to a tire place who didn't touch the car all day. Was a pain to get it there and a pain to go back and get it, pretty much not going back there ever for anything after having the car sit all day when I called ahead and asked them if it was a good time to bring it down! Really have to get it fixed this week..

You could also use a hammer and punch to get the broken piece out (and even the punch isn't necessary).
And use a steel wheel acorn nut, installed backwards, to draw the new stud in.
Once the splines of the stud engage, even if you can't get it all the way in with the acorn nut, once you put everything back together and tighten down your regular wheel, it will draw it in the rest of the way.

You could use the ball joint separator tool...but it's a tad overkill.
Like slicing cheese with a scalpel...you could do it, but a regular knife would be just as good.
