I wasn't watching and had the front wheel get loose on my L3800. Now I need to replace the studs and nuts. How hard is it to do? or should I take it to the Dealer? Help!!

If you have a little mechanical ability, it's easy.

Several different ways to get the studs out, Double nut and turn studs out, or use a small pipe wrench, or use a stud puller like the one below.

If they screw in, try this, heat to about 500 degrees (handy-dandy HF IR temp gun comes in nice, here) then hold a beeswax candle up to the stud, let the wax wick into the threads near the base. let cool, and remove with vice grip pliers. If it's a hammer in stud, use a brass drift, and whack it out with a no-bounce hammer...
