Wheel studs... Ugh

So my wheel keeps falling off, as most of you should know by now. I finally brought myself to spending the $6 on new wheel studs lol Got the puller from autozone. Could NOT get that fucking hub off. Now I'm in the position of deciding whether or not I want to grind down some of the knuckle. Any ideas? I work at an Acura dealership. One of the tech's here said in some cases they do that to save spending money on a bearing, but don't recommend it. Is this what I'm going to end up doing? lol... I just need to know so I can spend the $100 to get the studs replaced or save it and do them myself. Thanks guys...

Also, what kind of lugs do all you guys use?

Your wheels keep falling off? Get that taken care of ASAP! I once bought a set of wheels from edgeracing.com, they sent me "tuner" lug nuts for free and I used them. They kept coming loose, I had to tighten them after every drive, even normal(not spirited) driving.

One day my left front wheel fell off, I wrecked and totaled the car:cry:

eff edgeracing..

btw, I'd always tighten them to spec.
