bob jane over stripped the splines off one of mine awhile ago and whiped their hands of it. i done it my self.

new stud and nut wasnt very pricey at all. cant remeber how much now but id say under/arround $20 for the stud.

i ended up removing the hub and drilling it out from behind. not sure if theres a quicker/easier option. once you know what your doing it wouldnt take 1.5 hours at all as boyracer points out.

Unless im not reading right, changing wheel studs is really easy. done it heaps of times in my car.

Wheel studs are like $6.50 each with a new nut.

www.niceproducts.com.au you can order them from Repco and all the other places.
