Broken rear wheel stud

[patrickogrady]

Changed over to winter tires this morning, and most of the lug nuts were unbelievably hard to remove, many were cracked at the flange. In the process, I broke one of my rear studs. I don't see any write-ups on how to do that repair, can anyone offer suggestions. And how did they get so tight? Last time they were torqued was spring inspection and tire changeover at a local gas station. I didn't watch but judging by how stubborn they were I doubt a torque wrench was used to put them on.

Studs are fairly simple to replace. You just need to push it out and put in the new one.

check your local autopart store, they have loaner tools to get the stud out.
