I was changing my rear tire and when I tightened the nut to the stud, one of the studs snapped off. I thought it would be an easy fix but the stud seems part of the rear hub assembly and not as straight forward to disassemble. It's a 2005 PX 150. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello

The studs on the genuine piaggio hubs are staked at the back to prevent them turning and you have to remove the staking to get them out.
Non genuine hubs have the studs cast in and generally are not well made.

Good luck
