In the process of changing my rear passenger side tire, I happen to brake a wheel stub. It happened while I was putting the lock back on. What should I do about this? Is it easy to change 1 of them, or am I gonna have to change the whole wheel hub?

 

not to hard to change the lug studs. it is easier if you use a lug stud install tool. assuming you have disc brakes on the rear you should be able to do it with only taking the wheel off.

 

Also, to make the install easier, put the new studs in the freezer overnight to make it easier to go in.

 

what year and do you have drum or disc brakes on the back. once we know that we can talk,,,, well write you through it.

 

I've gotta 95 v6 3.4l, and I've got the stock drums in the back

 

That out the drum. Hit the stud with a hammer and then it will drop. Sometimes they are hard so give it some muscle. Position the new stud and then tighten it with lug nut as hard as you can. Then remove lug nut. Reinstall drum and then then reinstall rim. Pretty simple and there are plenty of YouTube videos if you need help.

 

Drums suck! Try TRANS AM CREATIONS - HOME PAGE for a drum to disc swap kit, was happy I did it with my old '95!

 

thanks guys, anyone know where I can find a new stud? also are they a universal size or should I take down some measurements ?

 

I clicked on that website and I dnt see the swap kit

 

As long as "as hard as you can" is a less then 120 Ft lbs any more then that and you risk damage to the stud. The only reason a stud will break is over tighening it. You can rip the rear axle out of the car with 5 good lugs but you over tighen them and they will fail.
