bloody wheel nut broke off yesterday on the back wheel... anyone know how much its going to cost to get it replaced? and where to get it done?

[KamikazeR33]

is the stud damaged at all? if its just the nut it shouldnt be too hard to find one

[pushead]

nark , you can just go down to a mechanic and get the stud replace. should be around the $50 - $80 mark. They bang the stud out and simply wack a new one back in.

at least it wasent your whole wheel

lol yea i had the same problem but the whole stud was stripped. Someone stole one of ma bolts on ma back wheel. Went to nissan to get a chrome bolt. The guy there gives me one that when i screwed it in its stripped the whole stud. He replaced the whole stud for free and i only payed $20 for the Bolt

shouldnt cost much at all, very easy to bang out the stud, and new stud should only cost a few bucks...

when a large wheel & tyre place in Sunshine cross threaded one of the studs on my car they replaced it for free. I watched the whole process and it only took the guy 10mins so I don't think it'd be too expensive at all.

yeah sweet... will get it done this week then... still driving it around with only 4 til then

A genuine stud and nut is around $5. Remove your wheel, caliper then disk. Knock whats remaining of the old stud through and replace with the new stud. Tighten the wheel nut to pull the stud through on its spline till its home then remove nut and reassemble. Should take about 15mins.

Hope that helps.
