So just a few minutes ago, I was driving home at about 10-15mph when all of a sudden I hear a loud snap sound that came from my driver side wheel. I wasn't sure if it was anything.. but then when I got home I checked and saw this:



Wtff, it totally just snapped off! Lug and all! I think I'm about to go walk to find it but yeah. Any idea what happened and if there's a way to fix this myself? If not, any idea how much it might cost? x__x. Fuhh. I just got my clutch done too. #$(Q#$&(&$

Thanks!

front or rear? should be fairly easy to replace

it should be easy to replace, remove your brembo caliper, remove the rotor and take a hammer and hammer out the rest of the stud, and insert new stud and pull it through using washers and an open end lugnut, and reinstall rotor and caliper.

Ouch! Over torque?

LOL not even! It was going straight and at like 10mph in a neighborhood!

he was referring to the torque of the lug nut, which is almost definitely the issue.

Oh lol. Uhh not sure. I know before the lug was like over torqued but when my friend and I did my brake job, we made sure not to do that.

Did you actually use a torque wrench or estimate with a ratchet or something?
