Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Wheel studs, wheel studs, lug nuts


Question
I recently broke off two of my wheel studs in my lug nuts.  I was wondering can I replace those two studs with two new one or I have to get the whole new bearing?  and can any tire place replace it for me?

Answer
Hello Dex,
Usually you can replace them without removing more than the brake drum, or caliper. Look for clearance behind them, then knock the broken one through with a punch and hammer, and stick a new one in from behind, and pull it in with a lug nut.
