Back Wheels

[flow666]

Hello...

Need some advice regarding my back wheel... this wont sound very clever so hope some one can help me...

I got a puncture the other day which is all sorted now with a new tyre I couldnt take the wheel off myself far to girly so some very nice friend helped me out but we found a probelm you know how the wheel is held on with 5 nuts... 1 has been snapped off so currently only have 4 holding the wheel on which I guess is safe enough but how do I go about fixing the problem...

Can I get a new thread welded on or do I need buy the bit that has the 5 bits sticking out of to put the nuts onto...?? hope this is making some sense and someone can point me in the right directions... and please dont tell me to go to lexus they will charge me the earth...

Any ideas please......

You can know the stud out and put a new one in.

the bit that you screw the nut onto is missing... do you mean the long metal bit can be replaced easily..??

I'm sure Lexus dealers sell the studs separately and not very expensive.

They are easy to replace. You may want to think about replacing all of them because if somebody has over-tightened one to make it weak and snap then the others could be damaged too.

Wheel nuts should only be tightened to 103Nm torque.
