I have a 96 Sunfire and the threads for the lugnuts are stripped on the hub, so the the passenger side rear hub must be replaced.. I figured out how to get the wheel bearing out and it is not fun. It seems that a locking nut is used for the wheel bearing bolts (the other end is a size 50 torx) and the hub spins easy so there is nothing to brace against so you have to hold the socket very steady, while trying to hold the wrench on the other side. Is there any easier way to get those pesky hub bolts out or is this the only way to get them out? Is there any way to keep the hub from spinning so the socket holds more steady?

P.S Those bottom hub bolts are a pain!!!


Thanks in advance for your help!!

your replacing the hub because the lug studs are stripped? why not just replace the lugs? its easy to do and alot cheaper
