i have a vs commodore and me and my mates just put new mags - VT champs - and a set of dba slotted and drilled rotters with new pads on

first question is how much is a hub to replace or the bolts on the hubs becasue when pulling off the front drivers wheel the bolts were really had to get off and we have found that the bolts are stripped. we manged to get everything back on but i don't think its safe to drive so i need a new hub and just needed some adviced on cost and anything else.

second with the brakes when i brake hardish theres like a ticking noise, only when braking, we were thinking becuase the rotors are slotted and theres a slot in the middle of the brake pads when they rub they make this ticking noise buy i just want to ask if anyone knows about the rotors or is it something we have done becasue everything seems to work or could it be the wheel?

thanks

the ticking noise (sounds a bit like crickets) is the pad sliding over the holes. its normal.

the studs are pressed in. you can just hammer them out and get new ones. make sure you buy new nuts too.
