Started my rotor replacement today,while taking off lug nuts found one of the studs seemed to be crossthreaded.Now i have to replace that to.Do i have to remove the hub or can i press them out on the truck?

Ditto on the hammer, unless it's major stuck. I don't have a press so I have taken a little torch to warm them up and then smack with hammer.
I haven't had to do it on a SD though. When pulling it back in don't have the rim on when doing this, find an oversized nut or get a socket or piece of steel pipe to use as you run the lug nut down to pull the stud to get seated.

On my 01, the torque spec is pretty high on the lug nuts. I usually use a breaker bar to loosen them when rotating wheels and tires. If I remember right it is something like 150 ft/lbs. Don't take that as fact and check your owners manual.

Those of us with on board air use impact wrenches and air jacks. Ever try to jack up a 10,000 lb. truck with the factory p.o.s. jack, especially in july in the south? Right after I did I installed an air system. I used to carry a old fashioned four way though, that helps with the impact tightened lugs.
