Alright so im changing out my rotors for some cross drilled ones I finish with 3 of them then i get to the last wheel, then the last lug of the 5 and this one just turns and bends down. Oh yeah I have tuner lugs which need a special socket which cracks in half during all this so now is where I ask? how do I get this lug off, I'm assuming the stud holding it on is done since it's bent, I've tried hitting it off but this isn't working. Also Ive been looking into buying a new stud when I eventually get it off and no one has it autozone, pep boys. Anyways any guidance chime in, I'm pretty pissed right now cause the place I got new tires recently from overtightened my lugs and surly cross threaded this one.
Thanks in advance Dan

 

Man I had a place strip 3 studs so lemme tell you, I wasn't a happy person... Well, the studs are pretty cheap, even from the dealer they shouldn't be more than like 3 bucks, but replacing them isn't an easy task. The hub is pressed on so you'll probably have to take it to a machine shop to have them pull it apart. Once you've got everything apart just hammer it out and pull the new one through from behind.

Unnecessary. It's doable.

 

thanks for the input

 

If it were me I would go ahead and replace the other 4 lugs while its apart.

 

Ok found a replacement socket at a tire place so at least I can drive now it was tough to find went to like 4 places, gonna break the bent stud off after work this week

 

new studs aren't hard to put in. The hardest part is getting the old stud out....just hamer hammer hammer. You can install a new stud with a simple wrench. Just buy a lug nut without a cap so it screws all the way down and pulls the stud securely into the hub

 

i cracked a few cheap lugs on my studs once and me and my pops had to dremel the fucking studs out. It took about 2 hours to do each one and i thought my hand had turned into metal. those tuner lugs are shit I will never ever ever buy those things again. (the ones that have the hole straight through the middle)
