Anyone know a trick/ any freakin way to get one off? I tried takin the wheel off and then I get a little luggie that won't come off...it's not stuck because I can turn it, but it won't come off.

 

you stripped the lug where it connects to the hub.

thats a *****.

 

Break the wheel stud. When I finally got my ugly wheels off, alot of the studs were stripped, several were so bad that I had to break the stud off.


All in all I had to replace about 8 wheel studs off of my car. A relatively easy process.

 

I can't break it off cause the lug's in the way. And I can't get the wheel off. My dad's gonna come 2morrow if he can and get it. We'll see what he does and how it goes.


Ps. black stock alloys are the shiz. I used duplicolor low gloss black and it's awesome. My favorite improvement so far. (I'm doing cheapy upgrades until I get some cash). I'll post pics when I get a digital cam.

 

I just put the socket on the lug and torqued away at it until it broke

 

I tried that too but it didn't work in like 30 seconds so I gave up


(I think I might have ADD....if things don't work quickly I lose interest...hehe)

 

dont you need a press to put new ones onto the hub?

 

30 seconds is like saying "I'm a lazy *** ****" when it comes to stuff like stripped wheel studs. Put some more effor into it, or be lazy and put a jackhammer to it. Kay?

BTW you don't need a press to put new wheel studs in, all you need is a decent-sized hammer to remove them, and some washers or a suitable socket + 1 lug nut to install the new studs

 

like l2aine said, no press needed. Take off the wheel, caliper/pads, and rotor. Take the hammer, beat the **** out of the stud you want out, should fall out the back of the hub.

Grab a few washers from Home Depot or somewhere. Slide the new stud through the back, I used some thread lock on the end, try to line it up with the grooves on the hub. Once it is in place, place the washers on the other side of the stud (where the lug would go)and begin to tighten an open ended lug nut onto the stud. It should start pulling the stud through the hub into place.

Really easy, from doing it a bunch of times to my car I can do it in no time.

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, ive been enlightened...
