I was painting my wheels today and I guess when the shop put my wheel on they crossthreaded it or something. But now it's broke. The wheels look great but idk how to get a new lug on. Any one know how or have n e suggestions? I would appreciate it.

 

bump? no one knows how to replace it?

 

Take the wheel off and use a punch to knock out the old lug. Put the new lug in the hole as far as you can . Put a few flat washers on it and then you need a regular lug nut to pull it into the hole which is a press fit. Put the regular lug nut on backwards so the flat side is facing in and torque it in until the new stud bottoms out on the hub. Remove nut and washers and put your wheel back on and torque to spec.

 

Thanks! Sum1 at the stealership said I wouldn't be able to do it myself it wasn't a traditional stud. So I hung up with them and got on here. Lol.

 

its very easy i just replace on in about 30 mins this morning

 

Happens all the time. I replaced a ton of them.

 

i got it. thanks guys. just make a thread with my painted wheels.

 

yep this happened to me today too. I apparently crossed my threads and f'ed up the stud and the lug nut when taking it off. I did purchase a couple new lug nuts but no cigar. I will be getting my stud replaced Monday.
