RE: lug nuts

Hey Richard,

You don't need a drum puller. All you need is a descent sized hammer, tools for taking the tires off the car, a jack stand and the right hand studded drum. First you replace the front drum with a drum with right hand studs. If these drums don't come off beat the living hell outta them with fore mentioned hammer until they come off. Then take off rear tire and that hammer and pound them studs out of the axel shaft and replace with right hand studs. You should be able to do this in less than an hour, which beats waiting for the "proper" studs to be delivered. You were saying you were short on time. Well this would fall under the category "time saving techniques". An hour or so pounding on drums vs. waiting a week or more for your lugs to be delivered.
