new hub bolts????

[billwagner70]

hi im new here and just bought a 99 tahoe.when i come to a complete stop my brake pedal is pulsating so i bought 2 new hubs/wheel bearings and new brakes and rotors.so i start on the drivers side and when i get down to the 3 hub bolts they are rusted very bad.there supposed to be 15mm but i fit a 14 on them to get them off..then i get to the passenger side and the 14mm just spins on those hub bolts it looks like someone stripped the hell outta them and then just gave up....i tried to pound a 13mm socket on the bolt but its just a little too small to pound on..i tried heat i tried bolt out kits ive tried every thing and cant even get 1 of the 3 bolts to budge. so my question is is there and tips that can help me get these out?????or is my only option to cut retap and replace the bolts???and does anybody know where i can find new hub bolts ive been looking everywhere and cant find them anywhere????

im having the same problem I cut the heads off and pryed the hub assembly off then i sprayed the studs and removed them with a good pipe wrench... now I cant find the damn bolts anywhere. MM

Get good nuts, use a welder from the inside of the nut to weld it to the head of the bad bolt. The heat will help break it loose.....

The bolts

Bolts are out pal
I just can't find them. These are the type that you intall from the outside
Towards the motor. I think there 14 mm.

Gotcha, I think I purchased hub bolts for my Venture when I lost one from the auto parts store, I think I used Autozone..... Make SHURE you use some locktite on the threads as that is how I lost one.......
