i stripped one of my rear lug studs putting in the wrong size lug. Do you guys know where a can purchase one?

thanks!

I don't know where you live but I just replaced about 8 of mine last week and I bought them at Monument Car Parts. I was lucky enough that they even had them in-stock. Any local auto shop should have them. They may be a day or two out, max, if ordering them.

I checked kragen and they said it was $36 for one? Is that right?

i had a similiar situation with my old integra where i broke one of my lug studs. I took it to pepboys and asked them to replace it, turns out it only costed 35 dollars to fix, thats parts + labor.

i bought mine at a dealership and they were only a couple bucks each

Monument Auto only charges around two bucks a piece. I checked my local dealership and they wanted more like 3.50, each.

$3.64 each...and we have two in stock.

I'm a stud, but I doubt you'd want me. :(

EVERYBODY wants you brucie...but Mikkito has you all to herself, and when she's pointing a gun at her "competition"... :P

I'll give the Oakland dealership a try since it's the closest one to me.

thanks for the help

Installation of wheel studs does not involve a hammer. Some people will tell you to drive out old wheel studs and install new ones by pounding on 'em with a hammer or lead mallet, but this is not the recommended procedure by Subaru. They are supposed to be pressed out using either a special fixture that supports the hub or something fabricated. Any other method risks warping the hub.

Installation is easy. Use lug nuts and washers to draw the hub bolts (wheel studs) through the hub, taking care to align the serrations of the stud and hub. The wheel studs should be clean and dry. Using any type of lubricant on the threads will adversely affect torque readings - you will end up over-tightening the nuts by a lot!

Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to 65.7 ft lbs. Over-tightening can cause failure of the wheel stud under high loading such as a road course session or a hard launch at the drags. If a shop tightens the lug nuts for you, make sure they use the proper torque. My local Costco had all of the tightening torque specs pre-entered into their computer but it was the wrong spec. They had entered 90 ft lbs but I pointed out to them that Subaru specifies 90 Newton meters, or 65.7 ft lbs for both steel and aluminum wheels.
