Replace lug bolts?
I want to replace some wheel bolts / lug bolts on my rear axle. I thought there was a tool specific for this. Everthing i'm researching shows BFH and smack it out. Is there a better way?

Re: Replace lug bolts?
If your replacing them then yea big hammer works. There no good right so why not. Then put the new one in and tap it in good then turn it over and use a old lug nut to pull it all the way through.
You can use the BH to for installing them for the most part but I always use the old lug nut to make sure it's all the way up.

I also use a lug nut but I use a greased flat washer under it.
