Broken/Free-spinning Wheel Stud
So I have a pre-owned 2013 Scion FRS. Recently, I replaced the Aftermarket Wheel it came with to 18x9.5 Wedssports. Unknowingly, the previous owner replaced the OEM stud with an extended wheel Stud. So, I used an OEM sized Lugnut. As we were putting on the lugnuts, we realized that there's a gap. So as we used the drill and torque wrench to tighten the nut, the wheel stud came off from the back/hub. Now, the stud is free spinning with the wheel and lugnut on.
We tried numerous ways to untorque/remove the lugnut from the stud, but it would not come off. We resided with drilling the Lugnut and the wheel stud. We already went through a lot of drill bits, and don't have much time to finish it. We're only about 1/4th of the way through the stud. Do you guys know another way to solve this problem? To makes things worse, I have a screw on tire. It's pretty much a ticking time bomb right now... Thank you guys in advance for answering this question! |

Remove the other 4 lug nuts, and use the wheel as leverage to snap the stud.
That stud is already toasted, DON'T try and reuse it. It works for wheel thieves, it'll work for you.

Studs are easy to replace, break it off and buy a new one.

(or use a cold chisel to cut it off) Or, you could do it the "humfrz way" ....... tighten the other lug nuts, carefully drive it up to the local auto shop and have them take care of it ...... humfrz |

Pull the stud out as far as you can. Put t tee bar on the nut. Stand on outer end of tee bar. Works about 60% of the time and no risk to the wheel.

Couldn't resist...in seriousness, though, good to know in a pinch.

If it's the front hub that the stud is free spinning on, you might just be able to jack up the car high enough and squeeze behind the wheel (if the wheel is still on) and remove the brake caliper/whole hub assembly and maybe see if the stud is completely off or just needed to be hammered back in. |

remove the other nuts then pull out on the other side of the tire to put the stud in a bind so that it will not turn then use a cobalt drill on the center of the stud until you are to the depth of the nut. then pull harder on the tire and it will break the much weekend stud.
an alternate is to use a grinder blade on the back of the stud, but it is often difficult to get by the shield on the back. then again pull on the side of the tire to pull the stud through, it may be hard to pull through as the stripped splines may be tapered alternate three is to use a air chisel to cut the back off, then pull on the tire to pull it through. |
