I was changing out my wheels and I got to the front passenger one pulled the wheel off, went to put the others on and when I was putting it on as I was tighting one of the lugs down, It felt like it was just spinning never tighting up, so I pulled it out too look at it and its broken. I have an 07 ss/sc how hard to fix, and how do I do this? never had to before.

I did a search but didnt find out how to do this.

thank you

shane

 

You might need a new hub, either way it's pretty simple. Similar thing happened to my 05, only PepBoys broke it and then blamed it on me. I swapped the hub with my boyfriend's car, only took about an hour or so to get his off, mine off, and put his hub on my axel.

Never swapped just a stud myself, so I don't know but I would imagine it would be pretty simple.

 

just put a new stud on mine last saturday, looked easy, my friend did it for me, cause he was the one who broke it off rotating my tires for me

 

so how you do it?

 

Lug Stud Replacement

Tools:
Hammer
Some thick Washers
Lug Nut
Lug Wrench

1: Jack and Support Car with Jack Stands
2: Remove Wheel
3: Rotate Hub so that the back of the Stud thats broken is free of the hub
4: Hit broken stud with BFH until it comes out
5: Put new Stud in hole
6: stack up washers on new stud then put on lugnut and tighten down
7: Keep adding washers till the stud is seated
8:Ta Da

sorry dont know much on this subject,

 

Yup yup, the four lugs are more of a PITA than the 5 lugs, I had to pull my whole hub to change mine, but you dont, lucky
