yeah, it sux, one lugnut is crossthreaded, and so is one bolt, cuz i teted it with another lugnut to see is it was the nut OR bolt that was bad...
anyways, i thiiink im gonna need a new hub, or no? can i just get 1 bolt
as for quality, can the different colored tuner nuts sold at like autozone be just as good

so.... it sounds like u need a new lug nut & wheel stud. u should be able to get them at an autozone store and they are pretty easy to put on. this stuff happens all the time.

Yeah pretty easy fix! New wheel stud and a new lugnut will do the trick. Like he said your local A.Z. or dealership will carry that stuff in stock! No need to replace the hub and wheel bearing.

Hammer the old one out. Pull the new one back through with a nut and washer. Really very easy.

A couple quotes from a thread from a couple years ago...
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by GrandMarkie »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I've replaced all my studs on my 95 EX without removing the hub/rotor. It actually takes about 15 mins per wheel.
1. Take off wheel
2. Take off caliper
3. Line up the stud you want to remove to the area where the caliper is mounted. Take a hammer to the stud and it will pop right out.
4. Hammer a new one in from the back of the hub. There is just enough room to put the stud in since you removed the caliper. Another way to pop the stud in is to put the new stud in, put some washers over the stud and then tighten the lugnut over the washers. This will pop the stud in good and tight.
5. Rotate the hub to line up the next stud and repeat.
