I decided to put some different rims on my new chevy and when i went to pull the first wheel off i found where some jacka$$ had hammered the lugs on with an air gun crossthreading 5 of them. As i tried to take them off with a tire iron i sheared 5 of them off. 2 of them actually while i was trying to tighten them back up. So my question is, do i just press them out and press new ones back in or is there anything im gunna have to ante up for. Here is what im dealing with.

Is that the half ton hub that people are always talking about failing? If so take this time to put new hubs on.

yup those are the "dreaded" 3 bolt hubs that suck **BAN ME****BAN ME****BAN ME****BAN ME****BAN ME**. lol

but they arent cheap, i think my cost is still around 200 a piece.
