should I just try to pull some hubs from a junkyard with good studs on em? I think this is the route I will take..........What other models will the hubs interchange off of? RRC? D2? there are several D2's and rang rovers being parted out near me so if these will work PLEASE TELL ME

Why not just replace the studs?
Can the threads be chased and cleaned up to work again?
RRC and DI are the parts you need.

one is literally broken off and the other two are beyond repair..................if I bought just the studs I would have to pay someone to install them right? I don't believe I have what is required to do it properly..... I think replacing the entire hub would be cheaper.... Spoke with Paul and he was willing to ship the two hubs for 80 bucks... don't think I can beat that.....

the hubs take alot more work to replace. just get one hub and knock them out. just make sure to put a nut that matches the thread on to reduce the effect of the hammer. then knock it out, and then use the same nut or another one along with some oversized washers and larger nuts to pull it thru with the nut. its easier with a air gun but it can be done by hand.
