Rear lugs stripped

bought some bad lugs for the truck and when i went to take the tires off had to force the lug nuts off and ruined the lugs. how hard is it to replace these by myself? any input. Better to take to the shop or do myself?

 

Ruined the lugnuts or the wheel studs?

 

the wheel studs are messed up

 

When you do replace your studs. Put a little anti-sieze on each stud. And when you put the lug nuts on, Start them by hand, not with an air gun.

 

i have to take the whole rear apart to get to the wheel studs. and is this hard to do or not? or take it to a shop?

 

I understand what you are saying. I have seen and had too many lug nuts on other peoples rigs, siezed on the studs, and had studs break because of it. That is why I always put a bit of Anti-Sieze on them. If torqued properly, should be no issues. But discretion is advised.
