To continue with my everlasting, wonderful saga...

I've got 2 broken lugs and one that won't come off. That's just the front wheels.

I'll get these pieces of junk out, but anyone got any lugs? I know I can probably pick some up from Schuman, too.

Damn.

On brighter note, I'm going to the field Monday for a week and a half.

Did the lugs break or strip?

Do you mean the lugs (concave) or the wheel studs (convex)?

I've never heard of someone breaking lug nuts in half.

Did you use a torque wrench to tighten them?

Those are wheel studs. How in the heck did you break those?

Who put your rims back on your car, Man? They musta gorilla'd those puppies!

he did.

Subaru wheel studs suck, ... just like all the other nuts and bolts used.
We've actually replaced more than a few on some people's cars.

Pat, cheer up, ... You have a wife and baby boy, a nice job , nice car w/ a 6spd on the way. What more could you want?

at least people aren't breaking into your car to jack your radio, women don't make it a point to screw you over, your chain of command doesn't screw you out of what you deserve, and you can actually afford to mod your car.

I don't remember, but I think I've never used an air wrench on them. I do torque them down too tight when I put them on, though. I'm using a torque wrench from now on.

I'm not too down in the dumps. I know things are pretty good, but I started the thread right after it happened. After I've thought about it, it shouldn't be that hard to change the lugs out. It just means no driving the car today.
