Next time you replace a wheel hub or hub bearing, keep the wheel studs! Automotive repair shops often strip the threads or knurling on the studs, and will need something to replace them with. The studs on the old wheel bearing definitely fit your car (you won't have to worry about ordering the wrong ones!) and will only cost you some time if you already have the tools! Removing the wheel studs when the hub bearing is off the vehicle is easier in some ways, but you need to be careful not to get pinched or snapped at by your tools!
If a wheel stud is stripped, obviously you wouldn't want to include that in your just-in-case supplies for the repair shop, but this removal technique should still work on them. Don't forget to recycle your wheel hub/wheel bearing if you can!

(The specialty tool here is considered a ball joint separator, in case you want to find your own, but make sure the opening in the back is wide enough for the head of the wheel stud.)
