Stripped a screw where the tire lug nut goes, how much does it cost to replace?
I lost my stock tire wrench so I used an 8in socket wrench with a 19mm attachment + pvc pipe to get that extra strength since the lug nuts wouldn't budge with just the socket wrench. I'm not sure if this is what caused it, but I stripped two screws, one in the front passenger and the other in the back passenger. Lug nuts won't fully go in. Is it recommended I use a breaker bar next time? Any one's you guys would recommend? I'm kind of new to this.

How much would it cost if I went to a shop to replace the front and back passenger? Or is it simple enough that I can do it on my own? Also, how imperative is it I get this fixed? Like, can I go a while with one missing from the tires? Or is it something I should get fixed asap? Thanks |

Subaru wheel studs are easily stripped, if you have the money you should switch them out with some good after market ones. This is usually caused by over torqued lug nuts though.

Over torqued nuts sounds possible, if "since the lug nuts wouldn't budge with just the socket wrench"

Yes. "screws" in wheel hub are wheel studs, and wheel is mounted on hub with lug nuts torqued onto them. Unless it's bmw, where instead of fixed studs+lug nuts they use wheel bolts, that get bolted into threads of wheel hub.

I'd suggest you take your car into a shop and have them remove all the lug nuts and inspect the wheel studs (the "bolts" that the lug nuts screw on to).
Replace any stripped wheel studs or lug nuts. I'd suggest you use this type of lug wrench to take off and put on lug nuts. This way you will get even torque applied to the nuts and studs. humfrz |

Use a torque wrench whenever you tighten lug nuts.
Don't let a shop use a rattle gun to tighten lug nuts, never, ever..... Monkey fisted "tire techs" will daka daka your studs to death. I also put a very "small" dab of grease on the studs thread and the face of the lug where it meets the rim. Always start the thread by hand, if it's tight, back it out and try again, you should be able to hand tighten the lug 95% of the way in. The studs and lugs hold your wheels on, this is a good thing, give them the maintenance and torque settings they require. Options may vary

I got the $3 Dorman lug bolt installed. Got a replacement Dorman lug nut for $2 also. Used the washers, bolt, and electric impact to pull it. The splines did feel like they lined up. I got a bunch of M12 and M14 washers at HD for $2. I also got an M12x1.25 bolt for .50 cents. Better to use the open nut than a closed lug nut. DarkSide, that HF tool worked perfectly.

You may want to invest a small outlay into a tool and replace all your lugs, safety first

the dealership was able to replace it with no cost. i specifically requested to have all lugs torqued at the recommended 90lbs. Today was the first time since then I worked on my tires and I guess they over torqued some of them, again! This is why I hate going to the dealership if I can do things on my own. But it looks like replacing wheel studs isn't something I can do without buying extra tools. I'm going to try to find a reputable shop in my Orlando area to get this resolved and bring my own studs and lugs. |

It's actually very easy to do in a garage with a basic tool kit. All you world need to supplement it with is a universal ball joint separator ($20 from harbor freight to pull and help seat the stud), some washers, and an open ended lug nut I know from experience |
