How to replace the rear lugs??? The search function wasn't working, so I am in need of quick "guidance", if you will. Long story short, someone tried to steal my wheels, and busted off 3 of my right rear lugs. I have the wheel, caliper, rotor and e-brake assy removed but the rear lugs are still "too long" to be removed. Is there a short cut? Or will I need to be removing my diff plate and removing my axle to get these s.o.b.'s out? 2000 Camaro is up on jacks, and I am patiently awaiting a reply ...
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Mike

If you have a four channel car (ABS and TCS), mitch is right, you can remove that sensor at each wheel (it goes through the backing plate) and have enough room to remove them. If not, you'll have to pull the axles.
I just did this a week ago, and even though I have a four channel car, I pulled the axles as it just made it easier to get to.

Thanks, I actually got them out without removing that sensor. I freely spun the wheel and found a part in the plate (that the sensor is connected to) that I can pull them in and out while I spin the wheel with no problems. Thanks for your help.
