About these wheel studs...
Two of the eight on one rear hub have damaged threads. Can I run a die over them (in place) or do I have to remove the hub and bang them out? TIA.

my truck came with locked lugs on 3 wheels (one each) and no key.
I smacked em with a sledgehammer and the snapped off. (i know brutal but the air chisle wasnt working and my nerves were shot)
Poping the old studs out isnt hard, a center punch and some blaster oil and *pop*
And ya put a new stud in.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to avoid the r&r of the axle, hub, and seal. The problem, as I see it, is that a conventional T-handle die tool will not turn past the hub. I think I'm contemplating a tool which might resemble a die inside a deep socket. Does such a thing exist?
