    after checking the rear brakes on the GTP the other day i went to put the tire back on, and two of the lugs seemed to strip. they were a pain to get off, i dont know what happened, but i cant get a lugnut to tighten on them.
    Is there a way to remove the lugs and replace them, or am i parts picking for a new hub?

    you pound the old stud out, then put a new one in. search you tube for a vid, its easy.

    Yup.. I'd nail a new hub and maybe parts pick for a couple lug nuts.
