Default 3 Lug nuts Snapped!!!

Whats up guys, so I snapped 3 of my Lug nuts on my 05 Type S the other day. I guess they werent on right before they were Air Gunned on. So same day, I get a message from a buyer who's interested in buying my Car. So Ive changed These bolts on previous owned car like my 94 Preslude Si and had helped change some on a buddies 95 accord. Doesnt seem like much to it. but jus because My Cars an 05 compared to the 90's model cars is there more to it then Removing my calipers and jus replacing my bolts?? Thanks for any helpful replies.

The rear is easy, just take the rotor off and u can slip the studs right in. The front is little trickier, you almost have to press the hub out of the bearing or cut the dust shield.

For the front, you remove the slash shield (4 6mm bolts + 2 snips with a tinsnip) and then with a grinder you can cut a little grove in the knuckel and you can get the lugs in and out through the notch.....Don't ask me how I know this..........
