10:33 this will kill the wheel bearing. Rent tie rod end remover and position its forcing screw against the end of the stud (you may need to use a spot drill to make a shallow center hole in it to center the forcing screw for better results)
I cut 2 inches of the brake dust plate to get the stud in. Make sure to cut off the area of the dust plate that is thinnest and smallest. I hope that makes sense. It's too early in the morning to think of the terminology for it. You have to use a metal hammer to push the old stud out. I tried using a mallet, and that didn't work since it's rubber 😓
This is on a GD (1st gen) and this does NOT WORK on a GE (2009-2014) and maybe GK. The size of the hubs and knuck are different - there is no way to slide a stud out or in without removing the hub. Period.

2:13 use 3LBS sledge and strike it once! The cam inside will turn straight motion into the counterclockwise twist to break the screw loose!
how did u make space to get the stud in

Which Honda Fit series is it? GD? GE? GK?
Thanks

About $120AUD to have an honest mechanic do exactly this for you in South Australia (They trimmed the dust cover too)
Geez, how about not having that annoying music in the background. I bailed out after a few minutes
