Any update on your hub bolt installation neur0sis?
One of my rear bolts was stripped and held on to one of lug nuts.
I tried to ring it free with a breaker bar, ended up snapping off a half inch chunk of the hub bolt. Now I need to replace it but have no idea how to remove the broken one.
The wheel lock currently sits on that one until I find a solution.

You could also take it to a local tire shop, and have them pop it off for real cheap. Maybe $10/$20 including the new stud.
Good Luck!

I have broken a number of studs so I have changed them all out. I knocked them out with a short handeled 6 lb sledge after removal of the caliper. You can feed the new stud in around the parking brake in the rear at the top. I did this a year ago and 6 track days. I have had no problem. It just was not the much force to knock out. You can sinch them up with and impact wrench and a specer ( larger bolt).
It might not be the most conservative way but seems to have worked for me.
It is a lot cheaper than the alternative.

neur0sis and C Ray Z :
Thanks for your help guys.
It's a little comforting to know I can take it off easily, or have my cousin (mechanic) pop it out with the proper tools.
You guys should have seen the look on my face when I broke it!
The bright side is, I didn't touch the face of the Volks.
Heart was racing a bit when I did the search, almost came up with nothing.
Thanks again.

I need to replace one of my front left lug bolts that I stripped. The place I bought my wheels from sent me the wrong size lug nuts and are sending me new ones. Are the lug bolts generally stocked/available at local parts stores or is the 350Z too new?

I ordered mines through Performance Nissan and they sent them in less than a couple days.
Cost about a buck fifty each.
