Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Keep us posted Dave, if you need any tips this job is still fresh in my memory!

See my reference to the "double brutal" slide hammer I used on mine, even with 10 total lbs of slide hammer weight, it still took a TON of whacks to get the hub out (probably about 50 or more)

I don't think you should have a problem using the stock lugs as they are hardened steel, just make sure to tighten all 3 of them down EVENLY, as if they are not evenly threaded I could see how it could stress the threads when whacking!


I actually contemplated getting 3 spare lug nuts for the job, but wanted to see if I could use my stock ones with no problems, worked for me, but I guess we all are a bit different
