  • front wheel hub rusted on

    i have a 99 firebird and i need to replace the front hub. 2 of the lug holes are stripped out and will not hold new lugs. i removed the spindle and the hub assembly as one.
    i just want to replace it so i can get it back on the ground with a 4 tires. if i was to go the junkyard what years would fit?
    thank you.

    Remove the hub from the spindle, and any 93-02 hub will work. Spindles are different for the 93-97 cars. 98-02 are the same spindles. Doesn't matter if it is V6 or V8 either.

        The hub is attached by four bolts. Is it rusted to the spindle?

            All 1998 to 2002 Firebird and Camaro spindles will work.

                If the bolts are out, at that point probably just torching it and beating it off with a hammer is the best bet. Got a pic of it?

                    At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
