Actually, it's pretty simple, I'm going to be doing both of mine up front when it stops raining long enough for me to get my bro over to supervise, but get a Haynes manual, and stop by AutoZone... Should be around $5 or so for just one wheel... NAPA is really expensive tho (Difference of about $15 around here)
Just take off the wheel, the rotors, and you can hammer them out, and put the new ones on...
Err, that's $5 for all 5

like taegost said. its pretty simple.....just might need a lil pounding to get it out!! For some odd reasons....mine always gets stripped!!!

If they stripped your bolt installing the wheels, take it back and have them put in a new one for you.

if i would have known i could have done it myself, i would have saved $20+ dollars......awww dammit!!!

Happens to me all the time. Not when I put rims on, but they snap and stuff usually once a year. I drag race a lot though...
I just had some put on that supposedly won't ever snap. The guy recommended them when I bought my nitrous system to keep that from happening ever at the track. They were a lot more than $5/wheel, but hopefully I won't have to mess with it anymore...

Heya, just thought I'd give ya'll an update... My brother just finished installing the studs...
HAYNES LIED!
Horribly, I am SOOOOOOOOO ****ed at the Haynes manual right now...
It said you just remove the caliper mounts, 2 bolts, and BAM! Disc comes off and you can remove the studs...
WRONG!
You have to either A) Remove the axle nut to get off the spindle, and do it that way, or B) Get ghetto with it.
We got ghetto with it... My brother brought EVERY large socket, EXCEPT the one we needed, so we took some tin snips and cut away a portion of the shielding so we could work on them one stud at a time.
After that, it was just a matter of a 3# hammer and an impact gun

bjyang

that'll work too. But u didnt have to cut the shielding. u couldve just bend it enough to reach in. But hey...u got it done rite??
As long as it works!!!!

i kinda fix my striped lug well the whole lug wasnt striped just the tip where the guy crossed treaded it and i just cut it out and made a notch and the lug went on now i just need to find some tuner lugs

Mdriver

So your wheel guy busted your lug nut stud and didnt replace it for you!?!
Thats F***ED up!!

Taegost

By the time we reached that point, we were both so ****ed off at it that we felt like being destructive
It works tho, it no longer feels like my wheel is about to fall off
