As the title says, i have an evil lug nut lol, i got my new lug nuts today with my aftermarket TB spacer, and i got to the front passengers side, and one lug nut barely loosened and now it just spins and wont tighten or loosen, and i have noooo clue how to fix it at all =/

Need to pry on it with something as you loosen it, and then be prepared to have to change that stud most likely

Bjiscuit

eeehhh?!?!? change the stud O.o please explain on how one does this? also, will it be safe-ish to drive as is? or completely hazardous to me health


(Oh hey, your from my home state, il be back home may 18-28)

If you have access to a impact gun that can zip it off applying pressure behind stud with prybar (but be careful of ABS ring not to damage or pry against it)

Repzard

Changing the stud is kinda a pain because of the ABS ring and clearance but you can sneak the lug stud in .

How too in a short
take off wheel
take off caliper.(2 bolts)
remove pads (slide out)
take off caliper bracket.( 2 bolt back side)
side off rotor.
tap out stud.
slide new stud in (stack up about 5-8 washer or use a big nut and tighten lug nut on new stud and it will suck it in)

heres a vid that may help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy9t1mU0lG0&feature=fvsr

reverse process

yeah i watched that video earlier, where can i get a new stud? there's an O'Reily's near by so i was going to try them, and on removing the lug nut, would drilling it out work?

JeremyB

it would but would take forever, it's easier to just put a screwdriver or something behind it while you turn it off, after it gets started off, it should come on off

Bjiscuit

just tried applying pressure to it from all angles, even used a impact gun on the SOAB but no good, didnt even loosen a little, just loads of spinning, looks like its drilling time, if you guys have any more advice i recomend sending a message to my phone, otherwise i wont get it till i'm done, thanks for the help though.

Edit: I appoloize for said drama queen moment lol. went to lowes got new drill bits and it worked loads better and i fixed it all yay

I was going to suggest a nut splitter at that point, but if you got it great too. Sometimes I am glad I don't have ABS on my car
