threds are stripped were lugs go, HELP!
So I took my car to a shop like two weeks ago to have my tires rotated..everything was cool before then and i assumed everything was cool after right? wrong. So i took off my rims today, because I want to sell them, and three of the lugs were hard as hell to get off. so I lubed them up and finially got them off. so what was revealed when I took them off is... three of the thred things were my lug goes are stripped to all hell. so this really ******* sucks
So what I am wondering, What do I need to replace to fix this? how much will it cost. any help or advice would be appreciated, seeing as I can't really drive my car until this gets fixed..

you can buy new wheel studs at any auto parts store, checkers, oreilly's, autozone, advance auto parts, Honda.
Replace the studs are easy. on the rears, just bang them out and pop in the new ones. get a stack of washers and tighten th lug stud to pull the lug stud through.
The front studs are tricky to replace though.
remove brake caliper and bracket.
remove the rotor.
cut the small piece of the dust shield where the caliper bracket was. it's facing the front of the vehicle.
you're going to need to grind down the spindle where it contours to make room for th new lug stud.
now, grind down the old stud shoulder at an angle.
bang back the stud to where you can rotate the stud where the shaved portion of th head of the stud faces the spindle.
then bang it out.
on the new stud, grind down at an angle like you did on the old stud and installation is the same as removal.

i would try this 1st, since it would be easiest.. but if that doens't work, im sure you could get new studs at any local hardware store. (automotive) they'r 12MM X 1.5. very common, esspecially for honda.
you would have to take the wheel off, beat the stud into the hub, and it will pop from the out, in.. and you take your new stud, and thread it with a lug nut, and maybe a few washers, and suck it in by tightening down on the lug. this is really easy with an impact gun, ive never tired with a socket and ratchet. thats the long and hard way.

Theres no way you can hammer out the front one's since the hub is in the way. your going to have to tap the hub from the rear in a circular motion. once it pop off, thats when you can remove the stud and install it from the back. its hard to explain but i gurantee you that its not possible to remove it without removing the hub...speaking from experience

sorry to say but you are wrong, I just put my arp extend lugs (2.85") and never took the hub off. And I would say if i can fit those in there you should easily be able to fit the stock ones in with ease. In the last picture you can see a comparison of my new ARP stud beside one of my stock ones

You just need to grind very little off of the steering knuckle and then you can knock the studs out, but when you start hitting the studs you need to be carful, you could damage the wheel bearings. I got around that by using a c clamp to tightin against the back of the steering knuckle and hub to equal out the shock of the hammer hitting so many times with so much force
