guys,

Need help here, I drove my Trooper up to my favorite dirt mound last week only to find on the way home that I had somehow *sniff* lost two stud bolts along with the wheel nuts on the driver side rear wheel.

Two bolts broke off (next to each other) and were gone. The remaining four others were loose. I tightened the rest but
to get home. The seats of the nuts on the mags got a little sheared but it's machinable or i could just maybe re-surface it at home.

The main problem is getting the 2 stud bolts replaced.

Can I do this myself? Do I have to pull my axle shaft for this?

Thanks for any help you guys can extend.

i would pull the shaft to do this and just press in the new lugs on the bench... but it might be possible to do one the car. I think there is enough clearance to insert the lug into the shaft, you'll just have to try and seat it by using some washers and cranking down on the nut. i don't know if you'll be able to get it to seat enough this way. if you don't mind pulling the shaft, my advice would be to do that.
