so after taking my front wheels off about 40 times since i've had the car and without replacing the nug nuts, one of them stripped -,.-

where can i get it rethreaded and fix it because i dont want to be running around with 4 nuts instead of 5.

i see many kits out there but is it easy to do and reliable? i'd rather take it to a shop that knows what up and have it done.

thanks!

 

go to Subaru and get the wheel stud ($2 or $5 I think, forget which).

Put new bolt in freezer over night

Next day:
Take off wheel
Take off caliper
Turn rotor so stripped bolt is aligned with the opening in the brake shield thingy
Whack old bolt out
Whack new bolt in (the freezing it causes it to shrink enough that it should be easy to put in.

Or $85 at GST, but it is a really easy job.

 

If it's the front, just turn the rotor until there is an opening in the back. Then beat it out with a hammer. This happens to me all the time. It's an easy fix.

 

its easy, don't pay someone to do it.
whack the old stud out, put in new stud, and use an open ended lug nut and tighten that sucker in enough to get the stud pressed in

 

glad to know I'm not the only one thats had it happen multiple times

 

if you don't have an open ended lug nut, you can put washers and use regular lug nut to pull the new stud through.
