3/5 Lugnut Studs are BAD!

Help me! 1 stud is broken off and 2 other ones are de-threaded. The lugs wont even screw upon them. What do i need to buy and where and how much? Thanks for all help.

If the studs are bad, just take a hammer and pound them out of the hub. Then take them to AutoZone or wherever and get some replacements. Bring the old ones to make sure you are getting the correct new ones. Then pound the new studs into the hub and thread on a lugnut and tighten it down to pull the stud all the way in. I'd suggest an impact gun if you have it.

Just remember, if you have TCS you're gonna have to pull the axles.

Haha, yeah it is a horrible sight to see. Even more horrible is snapping the stud and splitting your knuckles on concrete I bought new studs and an impact wrench and no more problems
