Two of my four lugnuts broke off on the front wheel due to my girlfriend thinking it had four wheel drive. What will it take to replce them and what do i need to do. Any ideas please.

 

just the lug or the stud itself? Im confused?

 

Sorry its the stud

 

you need to take the front knuckle off and take it to a machine shop and have the wheel bearing pressed apart, then have all new studs pressed in. if you only do the 2, then when one of the old ones breaks in a week, youre really gonna be pissed. its a couple bucks extra for each one. and be prepared to buy a new wheel bearing, as its possible for the press to break the bearing.

 

Don't forget to buy new nuts.......for the studs.

 

I HAVE 17 INCH RIMS AND TWO LUG NUTS BROKE IN SIDE CANT GET RIM OFF

 

what do you mean broke inside?

 

just have the car towed on a flatbed to a shop, if possible.

and NEVAR let your gf drive your car again...

 

I'm confused here. What are you guys talking about? Machine shop, to replace a stud??? Knock them the f**k out with a hammer and when you put the new ones in put a larger diameter nut over it and use new nut and impact wrench (if you have one, if not sucks to be you, gotta do it with a wrench) to pull the new stud in. Look in "Do it Yourself" forum of this site, I believe there is a thread on how to tdo it at home. Good Luck.
