trying to replace wheel bolts took off caliper and rotor no sweet spot. now what?

what wheel bolts?

lug nut bolts

You're supposed to remove the hub to install the studs but you can usually sneak them in if you grind one side of the head flat.

how do i get the hub off? i removed the nut but it won't come off i even hit it with a mallet

It is bolted from behind. The center nut is just the axle that slides through the hub.

Where are the bolts at exactly? It rotates and I don't know where the bolts are?

They come in from the back of the knuckle around the base of the C/V joint..

you will need to remove the cotter key and nut on the lower ball joint then smack the ball joint and it will come loose.then use a pry bar to push the lower control arm down to release it from the strut.then you can remove the axle.then you unbolt the other side.

Wait a minute. Back up. These bolt are removed from the front through holes in the hub. You do not have to remove any ball joints.

Ok, I will try to finish it tomorrow. Thanks for all your help!

ty wrenchtech for the info.my bad i thought he was replacing the axle assy.
