haha yea pat, kinda squirrely of them not to tell me. Brandon, stock wheels. just adjusted my new coils yesterday and the studs bust when i was putting the wheels back on.

 

You can get wheel studs at NAPA too,..
I always put anti-seize on the lugs and nuts that I plan to take on and off if I need to like wheels, some suspension parts etc etc,,...especially for exhaust bolts as that gets taken off a lot (for me ) and those can get pretty rusty/corroded.

Sorry to hear on the mishap...

 

Here's a Step-By-Step write up on "How to: Replace your wheel studs on a WRX/STi"

Charles i think this will really help you!

 

Looks so complicated. Are there any shops that can do this?

 

lol yep, most of the time its in the corner of the lot though.

 

How the hell did you break them? Please tell me you were using a torque wrench not just a breaker bar.

 

yea i was using a breaker bar. i used a torque wrench the last times but i was too lazy to get it a friend's house.

 

they are easy to put on...well easy for me to say it but you dont need that many tools, if you use your own wheel nut you can actually pull it foward into place, a little bagging to take it out but nothing a hamer cant do

 

there is only one angle witch they come out

 

OK well never again man...that's probably how you broke them. 90 lb-ft is surprisingly light when you are doing it with a big bar.

Tip - you can also use an air duster to freeze the bolts to make them contract enough to come out and to get the new ones in. Just hold the can upside down Burn Notice style.

Don't shoot your hand or your *****.

 

Cheee suby owners/goodyear employees represent lol. Store 8024 here. Just started couple weeks ago haha.



Dang breaking wheel studs sounds like a real pita. Hope you get your car on the road again soon man.
