Stripped threads on wheel studs

Hi. Any thoughts chaps? Took my SJ413 to a garage today to get the front wheels balanced but the mechanic found that at least 2 studs on one side had been cross threaded so are fooked
. Any recommended options here? Are the studs replaceable or is it a case of the whole hub having to be replaced? Or would a tap and die set be an option for a hopefully simple repair?
Cheers

I wouldn't be too keen on trying to tap them if there is not much left, as it is what holds your wheel on after all!
As far as I am aware all of the wheel studs are replaceable. I am pretty sure that the stud size you are looking for is M12x1.25 34mm
Here is a link to someone that is selling some OEM ones on ebay:

I far as I am aware the studs on a SJ413 are the same as the Samurai (Someone please correct me if I am wrong).

Anyone changed the wheel studs? Just want to know if there's an easy way or if the entire hub has to come off.....? Looked on trusty old youtube and a lot of the time it's pretty easy(ish) but I don't know if it will be on the Suzuki.

Should be able to change them just by removing the caliper and brake disc.
I'll dig some out tonight for you.
