Broken Off Wheel Stud

[Greenwich-biker]

I've just discovered one of the studs has broken off the rear RHS wheel hub - didn't notice a wheelnut was missing when I checked the car out (

My question is - does this mean a new hub, or do those studs pass right through? The car is a RSS GTS-T.

Thnx for any input

(I did try a search, but somehow missed this)

OK - another problem, (same wheel believe it or not) - on trying to remove the wheel one wheelnut just turns and turns, as though the stud has slipped or something - what now?

Remove all of the other wheel nuts, then turn the wheel so that the problem child is at the bottom.

Put the brace onto the nut and pull pressure on the top of the wheel and turn the brace to undo the nut.

If this won't do it for you, try one of two things.

1: Use a die grinder to remove the nut if you have the room to maneuver it in the recess.

2: Drill the center of the thread out with progressively larger bits until the stud breaks.
