I've removed lugs may time on us cars and some imports. Always just took a couple solid hit with a 24 ounce hammer.. These on my 95 X don't budge. So the question is are the threaded. Anyone know? Don't want to tear anything up. Replaced the rear shocks and noticed all the lugs are damaged.Left side shock took 4 hours . Right side 90 minutes.
Any help appreciated!

Not sure, but I'll be curious. Normally wheel studs just press out/in. Big "C" clamps or a special tool will normally push them right out.

BTW, good job on the rear shocks. I just did that, and it took me about twice the time, but also took some "clear your head" and "cool down" breaks

 

The rear studs are threaded while the front ones are pressed in.
To make matters worse, the back side of the rear hub stud is swaged... I don't know what to say in English properly but the back end is nicked with a chisel to prevent it from falling out, so you will break down the hub and grind it down.

I think I have a spare rear hub somewhere, but I forgot where I put it...
Anyways you can see what they are like when you remove the rear brake disc.

 

I also had a few moments to cool down on the first side. I have some mechanical background as my father was an excellent mechanic. The work wasn't for me. Now I do it for "enjoyment". I love playing with this old jag, what can I say.

 

Thanks, your language skills are excellent. I remember seeing this many years back. When you start these projects you just never know what's ahead. Saturday I will pull the hub.May have to check out my new shocks first! I know I will need a new hub nut. Thanks again
