so I was pulling a lug nut off my car and the damn lug snapped... Where do i get this fixed and around how much am i looking at? I need it done ASAP so that I can run at track day... thanks

 

go to tire kingdom. it'll cost like $20 or so.

 

Or go to advance auto and buy one for about $1.49 and replace it yourself, easy easy fix, and cheap too!

 

how hard is it? can you write out what to do or send me info on how to do it?

 

The proper way is to take the wheel off, take the brake rotor off, take the hub off, hammer out the old stud, and then go to a machine shop and have the new one pressed in.

The easiest way is to take the wheel off, take the brake rotor off, hammer out the old stud, put in the new stud (a little JB weld never hurt anyone here lol), and you're done.

I never even use the JB weld, I just put the new stud in, put everything back together b/c once the lub nut is on the stud, where's it gonna go, ya know?

Hope that helped a little bit

 

JB Weld?

 

Thats how I do it, minus the JB weld

I reccomend once you put the brake rotor back on, before you put the wheel on, tighten a lug nut all the way down on that beast to make sure it pulls all the way through, then put the wheel back on and tighten em all down

 

I plan to grab the parts today and try it tonight after work.. I hope i get it, i need it by tomorrow lol

 

Pull it all off, bring it to us cause we have a press and you'll be done.....the proper way. BTW, don't hammer it out, alot of people do it wrong and mess up wheel bearings like this.

do you mean STUD, or lug NUT, like you said?

im sure you know the difference, maybe you had a typo?
