yeah you will be fine

just get it fiexed

 

how do i fix it

 

get a new stud....

 

I saw a thread about this earlyer dont think it was on this site but i know if u drive too long with it like this u can do damage. i dont recall wut kinda damage but any damage is not good. So get a new stud... as stated above

 

you have to get a large hammer or a press to get the old one out.

I usually get a hammer and a screw driver or a chisel.
Hit it till it comes out

same the the new just put it in and now out

 

smack your friend and make him fix it since he f***ed it up

 

i did that once.. i think it was 99 bucks at the dealership to fix lol

 

x2

 

my friend did that on his rsx type-s.. its just like 10 bucks for the stud.. he did it by curbing his car trying to avoid a drunk driver...

 

ight but is there something that i have to do to prepare to take it out dose anyone have a step by step on how to do it

 

wow. get a torque wrench next tym bro ($20-$30)! hope you get it fixed coz it's not safe (plus it doesn't look cool to have one missing stud)

 

hour of labor at a dealer and 10 bucks, had them do two on my car cause they were stripped. Put grease on your studs !

 

First find a new stud, second, take off your wheel, third take off the caliper, fourth take out the rotor, then the studs will be visible, spray some WD40 on the one you want to take off, then like someone else said, take a hammer to it with a screw driver or something similar and hammer it out. Put the new one in try to get it in as much as possible, then put everything back and when you tighten up the lug nuts on the wheels the one you replaced should settle back into its place(If I'm wrong, please someone correct me), hope that works, cause I'm getting ready to try mine, I have some spacers I have to install and I have to replace all of the studs

 

thanks i found the studs for $2 im going to try it

 

$2? if you say ebay im gonna come over there and hit you in the head with a tack hammer...

 

f
lol where are you getting a 20-30 torque wrench for? the ones i;ve been eyeing have 0's on the end of them

 

i found them for $2 at the auto part store down the street from my house "conquest "

 

personally i'm uncomfortable with the "i'm going to try it" part. if you don't how to do it, it's probably smarter to take it to the pros. it's not like you're painting the "waterfall". these are your wheels....imo

 

i've had bad luck, with the studs breaking off. It happened on 3 out of the 4 wheels.

I guess I overtightned it too much when I was putting the wheel back on, after painting them black.

I got the hand of it now, lmao.

You can drive around with it like that though. There cheap at the dealership, for the stud and nut. Fairly easy to fix. Take off the rotor, WD40, and a hammer, and it'll pop out. I had someone at pepboys do it for me. Now I know how to do it ^^
