My son called today and asked me to help him replace the front brake pads on his 05 Chrysler Pacifica all wheel drive. He brought the new pads and we proceeded to change them. The passenger side was wore more than the drivers side, but neither side looked bad enough to need replacing, but we did anyway. When putting it back together, he twisted off one of the lug bolts on the drivers side. How bad of a job is it to replace the stud? Something you can do yourself, or do you need some special tools? I asked him why he thought the pads needed replaced and he said they could hear a grinding sound once in a while. It has about 110,000 miles on it. I said it could be the rear brakes making the noise, so we attempted to take the rear passenger side wheel off. It is stuck on tight!!! The center cast part of the hub is very rusty. I tried taking a BIG hammer and hitting the inside of the wheel rim, but was afraid to hit the aluminum wheel very hard. I tapped between the lug bolts on the outside of the rim and sprayed my home brew of ATF and diesel fuel on it to no avail. It was getting time they had to leave so we just put the lug nuts back on and picked up tools. How do you get the stuck rim off the hub? I didn't want to use the flame wrench on the aluminum wheel, what else can you do to it to get it loose? Thanks, Chris

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
