Front hub studs

["Myron Ware" <cmw@domain.elided>]

Hi all,
  An unfamiliar thunk-thunk was heard this morning, and I discovered 
that I hadn't cranked down on the lug nuts on the driver's front wheel 
after I did a routine brake inspection.  I had driven it yesterday about 
20 miles before I noticed it this morning.  The studs have been chewed 
up to the point that the lug nuts won't thread back on all the way, and 
I can see mangled threads.  The holes in the wheel look like they'll be 
okay.  I have a trip planned for this weekend, and need to know if these 
are standard parts store fare (part numbers anyone?).  I have a '68 800 
4x4.  Where would be the best place to get the studs pressed out/in?  I 
haven't pulled the wheel off to see if the brakes got mangled, but it 
still stopped with no problems just before the discovery.  Anything to 
be aware of when looking at the brakes?  There is brake dust evident on 
the wheel, but I think it might just be from the vibration.
  Please cc: to me directly with any replies. Thanks,
Myron
