Broke a lug. Help please!
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.

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.

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.
