Need new studs.. is it a big hassle?

[op.tic]

well tonight i went to test fit my friends rims and bfgoodrich all terrains off his 95 isuzu rodeo on my 94 nissan hardbody truck.. anyway it fit perfectly, but i put his lug nuts on instead of mine, big mistake, when i took the tire off.. there were fileings all over the studs, it was a pain to get my lugs back on, but i managed to put 2 one

so... since two studs are stripped, what now... replace the studs? if so where can i find the right studs

You should definitely replace the stripped studs.

Check with some of the sponsors. Or try NISMO.

i got mine from the good ol dealership, wasnt too expensive. took em home, banged the old ones out with a hammer, and put the new ones in, and threaded them into the hub with the stock lug nuts. pretty easy as long as it is the front hubs you're working on, assuming the truck doesnt have 4wd.

its got 4wd

if you don't have the clearance behind the hub to whack the stud out, then you have to take the hub off, and i'm pretty sure that could be a pain.I dunno if you have tried to take the wheel off again, but when I stripped out 2 of my studs, half of them got stuck inside my lugnut, so it would have worked out even if the back of the hub was in the way.. Maybe you will have the same "luck"

Naw, 4wd hubs aren't as bad as they seem. I've done it a few times with my dad's old '83 Silverado. Just go slow so and pay attention to everything you do. Of course, that's just implied in any work on a car.

Just pick them up at a local dealer, they're super cheap. I have a set of Nismo longer ones sitting here that I need to put on my Z when I get a chance. Its pretty easy to do.

Even with you having 4wd its doable.
