Bad news...was driving around the other night after my first car show and started hearing a rythmic growling noise coming from the rear of the truck. I pulled over in the first parking lot I came to and got out. I pulled off the center cap on the left rear tire and 2 of the lugnuts came off with it. The 4 remaining were about to come off too. Save your, "well who was the dumba$$ who left 'em loose?!" questions/comments. I tightened everything w/ an impact, AND a torque bar, but I digress.

Now, I have a ruined wheel (no biggie because I have a spare and I'm getting all new anyway) and 6 ruined lug bolts (posts).

How do I replace these lug bolts? I have looked in the shop manual and can't find anything. I've never had to do this before and could use some direction.

If I am pulling the hub to replace the lug bolts anyway, what other things do I need to inspect, repair, replace or give attention to while I'm in there?

If I'm doing one side, should I do the other side at the same time?

Chime in with your direction and advice.
Thanks,
