Ceased Lugs
Im at lexus right now getting a brake job and the service advisor tells me the Lugs are ceased, and if the lugs keep trying to be forced out it can mess up the hub... can someone explain this to me and tell me what i can do

Lexus, in this case, is retarded... certain vehicles that use lug studs such as Audi / VW / Mercedes / BMW could have the hubs damaged this way, but as far as I know, all of our Lexus' have replaceable wheel studs - on many cars, this requires nothing more than pulling the brake rotor, hammering out the old stud, and pulling in a new one (or 5).... I've replaced a couple on my car, and its literally a 30 minute job, less sometimes...
