19 mm socket is 0.74803, darn close to 0.750" that has been the long time standard for lug nuts, or 3/4". Don't ask me why spark plugs and tires use both English and metric measurements, always been this way. Well maybe not on my 1930 Olds.
Two key reasons to replace a hub stub, most common is idiotic shops that use a 600 ft.-lb impact wrench to tighten them. Second is road salt. Even worse than trying to remove the lug nuts is that the wheel itself is solidly rusted to the hub.
Ha, my brother-in-law came over with his brand new 82 T-Bird to put on mud flaps, Cruze is the same way, selling a brand new vehicle that requires the GM name, splash shield, actually stone shields, if you don't, your brand new vehicle will look like it was fired upon with a 12 gauge shot gun.
Got off the lug nuts on his car, but in no way could I remove the tire, rusted on solid. Since it was a brand new car, said, take it back to your dealer. They couldn't do it either, had to replace the entire rear axle with new wheels and tires on it.
Anti-seize sure helps, but plating would be far more lasting, dey don't do dis.
Rust can also get into the splines of that lug nut causing it to spin, even replacing it with a new one doesn't help, inside of the hub is rounded off. Got by with older clunkers, by using flat washers and a lug nut to hold it in straight, and tack welding the rear of the stud to the hub. But first had to remove the yoke first, not a nice way to spend a Saturday.
Least they are not advertising a vehicle is your second highest investment, ha, loses half of its value the instant you drive it off the lot! See most ads today pushing HP, how much HP do you need when they are dropping the speed limits down to 10 mph?
What was your reason for having to replace a stud?
