Snapped Wheel Bolt

[Rabster]

OK so im stupid

i was putting my wheels back on after painting the calipers and this wheel nut was just not tightening up then all of sudden it fell off lol

how hard is it to fix may be a stupid question but better safe than sorry

[T7RY B]

I did it years ago on my LS Took it to KwikFit, they supplied and fitted the stud for a tenner.

easy get the old end out of the hub hit it with a hammer and screw driver then

once u got the new one push in from back and using a open ended nut tighten without wheel on till

the back is flush how it should be like the others

done it loads of times mi self on various models

will i need to remove any other bits and pieces to do that or will it just push through and out the back things like disc and calipers wont be in the way will they ?

cheers

If I remember correctly, you will need to remove the disc. Details on how to do it in this link clicky

He was using my extended wheel wrench, so it's probably my fault.

The painted calipers do look sweet though

[Rabster]

yeah its all wozzas fault lol

but on a plus side i have removed the remails of the stud

I found whenever I had a fuzzy looking wheel bolt it would break. Take another pic of the rest of them, if they are as fuzzy as this one, I would get a whole new set

Does look a bit thinner and stretched mind you. Just over tightened by the looks of it. When you torque them up to the proper amount, it is remarkable how little effort it takes for the correct amount.

[Rabster]

they all look a little used but none to that extent i dont know if there all fuzzy not taken them all off but i suspect they wont be lol

fuzzy picture is due to my desk in my office phone couldnt focus lol
