I just picked up another 88fox yesterday stock for $350
on the back driver side some one tried to take the rim off by vice grips and then tryed to tap it out so its really jacked up... I have no Idea how to take off the hub with the rim on it.. I was thinking bout just changing the rear but this is a new project and I really dont wanna dump alot into it untill I finish the otherone

Hammer a socket on the nut and remove it.

wtf, read your post before posting it!

Lemme get this straight... the rear drivers side lugnuts are all stripped and beat up because an idiot tried to remove them with the wrong tools or without the key? Depending on the wheels you should be able to find an old socket you dont want any more and beat it on with a BFH and then take them off, or else your going to have to be creative and figure a way to break them off, heat always helps. I'm assuming the lugnuts are exposed cause of the vice grip useage...

So what are you trying to take off?

The lug nuts or the hub? Two totally different things. The hub is what the wheel bolts to that houses the bearings for your wheel to turn. The rotor then bolts onto the hub and the tire to the rotor.

I can help...just need to know what.

I had this happen not to long ago when my wheel lock key stripped out. I managed to get 3 out of the 4 locks off with the hammer and socket method but one was real tight and wouldn't budge and kept slipping even with the socket banged on there, air tools were required. If you have one fo the big tire chains around by you: Big O or Discount Tires, take it there and they usually won't even charge, they will do the same thing but have the air tools to zip off the stubborn ones.

The guy took off 3 of the lugs and pushed the studs into the hub ...... The last one is so far gone that it looks like some he was chewing on it. theres not enough lug or studd left to put a socket on. it almost looks like he grinded it back but theres no room to do that eitherI dont have a torch not that it matters cause i still dont know how to take off the hub.. the hubs have to be changed anyway so to me it would be better to take off hub with the rim on it.. Its all stock old stuff so its getting deep 6'd anyway

You need a torch to cut the head off the wheel stud from the back.

well if you are going to install new studs get a drill and a casehardined bit
and take your time and drill the stud going through the nut

The wheel studs are part of the rotors so just change the rotors.

Take off the center cap on the wheel, undo the hub nut and the wheel should come off with the rotor attached if you can get the caliper off the rotor somehow.
If not just undo the spindle and get one from a junkyard.
