Three where loose when I checked. Im thinking this one was almost off, I hit a bump, the nut pried the bolt, stripping it off...I tightened the other three and they seemed alright...dunno though

All I've ever done w/ brakes on my own is pads...I heard that THIS type of job is difficult only because its a real bitch to get the cap off and you need a speacial tool? And you have to put the bolt through the inner side w/ many obstacles? :dunno:

Ideally you need a hydrolic press to do the job. It doesn't take too long either.

yikes!

haha one of my lugs got messed up at a tire place when i just got my car, rode around like that for about 7 months cuz i was just too lazy to fork over 40 bucks to fix it

a ghetto mechanic shop told me they had to take out the whole hub to replace it and i could drive around a month wihtout it doing any harm. so if they said i could drive a month, i was ready to drive it about a year
