Wheel Hub Bolt

[Parf]

Hi

Does anyone know where i can get hold of a wheel hub bolt for the front wheels. I managed to snap one when i was tightening up my wheel nuts.

Is Toyota the only place?

follow in correct order:

buy a torque wrench

go to lexus toyota dealer and get new stud ( about £5)

DO NOT use torque wrench to remove wheel nuts

remove wheel/caliper/disc

hammer out old broken stud - install new stud and draw thru new stud

install disc/caliper/wheel

set torque wrench to 72ft/lb

graudually tighten nuts in a diagonal pattern

wind torque wrench back to ZERO when finished.

its easy!

PM me your address I will send you a wheel stud for nothing.

PM sent. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the instructions too. I was following a guide and it said to torque them to 103Nm, they felt really easy until it snapped. I just hope i havent weakened anymore.

72ftlb is 97nm

103nm is 76ftlb

if u were using a torque wrench i would get it checked if possible - try an airfield as the airclub will gave a testing meter or should have.

According to the online manual here, it should indeed be 76 lb/ft or 103Nm for the hub nut for the IS200. Can't see why the Altezza would be any different.

I think my bolt snapped before that unless my torque wrench has issues.
