Stripped Threaded Studs (wheel) - How To Fix ?

[john_letour]

It seems that when I had my tires rotated last, one of the lug nuts was incorrectly installed, so now the thread is effectively destroyed.

How can this be fixed ? Can I do it ?

Thanks !

I havent had to fix any wheel studs on mine (yet) but im fairly certain they are like nearly every other car. They are driven out, and in. It's a tight fit, requires a tool or lots of poundage :) . You are probably best taking it to the shop that screwed it up, its not a tough fix for those who deal with it all the time.

Front or Rear? Replacement procedure is different. You would need some type of press to get the studs out.

I usually take the whole steering knuckle assembly and take it to a machine shop and let them press out the studs.
