[Tigers] replacement rear wheel lugs

[Windsor Owens]

Thanks Tony.  Yeah, I will definitely get the right puller and soak it with
PB blaster or something similar for a while before attempting to pull the
hubs.  Good to know 3 lugs should hold for my ~ 20 mile trip back to my
garage, saves me the trouble of putting in a temporary short one.
