Wheel bolt stripped
So, i got a nail in my tire the other day and i went in to go get it patched. The guys at the tire shop told me when they tried to get the lug off, the bolt was spinning with the lug and they couldnt get it off. Anybody have this issue before?

Do you have the stock studs, or aftermarket? Stock wheels? Who was the last person to remove/install your wheels?
My guess is that the last person who installed your wheels hit the lug nuts HARD with a impact and spun your studs. I don't have experience with this, so I will just say good luck as I hate issues like this. I would google to try to find an ingenious solution. my guess is you will have to drill the lug nut off (hopefully without damaging the wheel) and then replace the stud. |

I had toyota replace the stock rims with aftermarkets. All i know is they were the only ones to touch em since the swap so your guess makes sense. I have an appt tomorrow with the dealership to have them replace whatever they messed up. Damn rookies :mad:

i had this happen to my old speed 3, discount tire had made the mistake but sadly i was swapping over to my winter set up at home. discovered the issue, had to ride to discount tire on 4 of 5 studs nearly shitting myself the entire way (about a 30 minute drive). The manager who knew me apologized and went to work re-threading the stud. if that didn't work he was going to send me to a shop to get a new one put on thankfully i didn't have to go that far and he had me out in about 10 minutes. Toyota will fix this for you.

Well as i was removing the bolt, it felt like it was tight then entire time (needed to use a breaker bar) and then it spun freely not coming off. I managed to wiggle it off after much swearing and effort. in your situation i wouldn't mess with it, just bring to the dealer and let them deal with it.

So i took it to the dealer and it turns out they stripped more than one bolt on the other wheels. Amazing isnt it?

This is somewhat a common issue with this car. I have had two drivers side studs snap. I carry two spares just in case now. I know others who have had the same issue with the stock studs.

Every toyota dealer (that my parents have taken their toyotas to) overtorques the lug nuts to at least 100-120.
Toyota cars = 12mx1.5. I think this may make a difference. I don't think we have an issue at 80ftlbs of torque. Its super easy to reach without much force too so I can't imagine them doing a good job with their impacts. |
