Rep Power: 428 you should worry about if he replaced the stud correctly. Sounds like he didnt do it right. He should have replaced it with a brand new one. I dont know how he would replace it, but half the bolt still be there. I dont think that is even possible. go back and demand they knock the old one out and put a new one in there.
It is normal for the lug nuts to get so hot, you can barely touch them. It is all the heat generating in the wheel area From stopping and what not.
