Not sure if this is the right place for this but, if someone could help me...

So I noticed that 3 of my wheels have a bad lug, I guess it's called, but I can't seem to find a replacement for it my self.

It isn't as bad as this just this is the only picture I found kind of pointing to what I need.



The guys at the Tire shop in town here said they should be able to be pulled out and replaced. but he couldn't tell me exactly what they were called. So, Does any of you guys know?


Oh I guess it would help to let you know what car I have 2005 Scion tC. But yeah, 3 of the 4 wheels have ONE messed up thing, (I have no idea what it's called ) and The messed up ones seem to be slightly striped, they are all 5 lug patterns also, if that matters.

 

Wheel studs. Getting old ones out can be a pain but putting new ones in can be done on your own. If you don't even know what they're called you're probably best off having it fixed at a shop.

 

You're probably right. I just got to find a place in my town that does that I guess. If I were to get a shop to do it would they already know and/or have the studs? (I know this is pretty much dependent on the shops I guess) Also, what would the correct sizes be if I had to buy them my self? For the 2005 Tc by the way.

 

easy to replace... remove caliper and brake rotor hammer (and punch) to remove them

to install put it in and use the flat side of the lug tighten until the wheel stud is seated...

 

Besides the Hammer and Punch and what ever you need to remove the brake stuff is there anything else you would need tool wise? And does no one know the standard size of these? I'm pretty sure the other studs are the stock studs.

 

you can buy 'em new at the auto parts store for a few bucks

 

I know I haven't been around much. But I moved to Louisiana and they have a metric ton of Laws about cars. As in my tint, That I didn't even put on, was way to dark it ws rated at 5%. But I was told I have to get the studs fixed, Which I was planning to anyways, But the shop I called quoted me $175 for replacing just 3 studs.
