Help!!!! I broke off 2 wheel studs
Ok so im changing out my IFS worn out tires for some other tires i have and i get the fronts off just fine. I get the back left off just fine... i get to the back right they are hard as hell to turn.. so i stand on the braker bar to getr better leverage one comes off ok.. then i break one and think it cant happen again ... so be as smart as i am i decided id try and get the other ones off.. and there broke stud number two . Am I screwed? Or can i pull something off a truck in a wrecking yard to replace the whatever it is with ( im not sure what the studs are attached too... maybe the brake drums or the axles i guess...) and can i still drive the truck with 4 good wheel studs?. Quick Help me please.
thanks,
Andy

I had the same thing happen to me. All you have to do is take off the drum and then tap the broken stud out. I got a couple new studs from my Toyota dealership. They have little ridges and a cap at one end. The ridges are what holds it in the hole. It was hard to get it the whole way in so I put the drum and wheel back on and tightened the lugnut down on it to get it seated the whole way. Hope this helps.

I just use plain dino oil to keep them from sticking like that. Old trick my Dad pushed on me.
But I also graps his ear lobe when he burns his fingers tips thinking that it helps and lessens the burn. But he has stopped putting butter on burns.
So who knows

$6 and 1 hour later the old studs are out the new ones are in and i must say that was pretty easy.
I did the whole thing with the things in place i just used a punch and a hammer to pound of the old ones and i used a lugnut to tighten the new ones into their places.
