broken lug stud (plural), safe to drive?
#21
ok, ok, i'll do it. next step: how? i've never replaced lugs before and i couldn't find anything about lugs in my repair manual. i'm assuming i just need to remove my rotor and punch the old ones out and replace with new? i've never changed rotors on a 4wd vehicle before. does the hub make it more complicated?

It is a lot easier than it looks.. and once you have done it, its 10x easier the next time.

wrong lug nuts? how can you have wrong lug nuts? apparently it's not just a nut? whatevs, all i know is those are the same lugs i've been using for 6 years without a problem.
oh, and whoever said they are $10 a piece, holy crap! my local auto parts store has them in stock for $1.50.

so i've been searching, and i've found conflicting posts on how to do this. some say you just remove the rotor like normal and then just leave the hub in place and pound out the stud. some say remove the rotor with the hub attached, separate them, and then pound out the stud. some say remove the hub, then the rotor, then pound out the stud and repack bearings and grease. some say it's easy, some say it's hard. WTF? which is it? all the links to manuals i have gotten are to remove things but no one has yet said without a doubt what i do and do not need to remove. i've never opened up or worked on anything really involved with the driveline so i really don't know what to expect.
also, what special tools will i need? one of the posts mentioned i might need a big ass socket, which i don't have.
