Subject: Broken Lug!!
IP: Logged

Message:
A couple weeks ago I broke a lug on the rear drum while rotating my tires. Has any else experienced this? I wasn't using any power tools and I got the nut about half way on then snapped off.

I completely forgot about until now. Anyone know how hard it will be to fix?

it takes about 5 min to fix. take off the wheel, and drum, then smack the stud with a hammer to knock it out. install a new stud from the back. i couldnt get a hammer in the back to hit it back in, so i just screwed a lug on and kept tighting the lug intill the stud starts to get pulled through. keep tightning it untill the stud will not move anymore, and you are done

i didn't know you could pop the studs out like that. does that really work.
But I have 2 broken off on my left rear.
i was kinda afraid to try to rotate them again cuz i figure another will break off
but i'm gonna look into this idea
can you pick these up at the auto parts store?

thanks

Cool, Where do you get the lugs from? How much where they? Hey eric, how low is your truck with the 20's? Do they rub? I was wondering how low i can go without rubbing. im running 45 series tires

dak, i got my lugs from the dealer. i had a bad experience with autopart stores lugs, so i dont mind paying the higher price for OEM lugs.

also, im lowered 4/6, and running a 255/35/20. it rubs in the front a little, but im able to put up with it.
