Cross threaded a front Lug Stud :(
Well me being an idiot today decided that I would some how cross thread one on my front lug studs. Anyone have any experiance in fixing this? What's the best way to go about this? Thanks in advance for your help.

well try and take off the lug nut and hope that the stud isnt stripped, but most likly it will be if u can even get the lug nut off, most of the time u gotta take an impact gun and just go at it until it breaks free and usually the half the stud comes with it, then just replace the wheel stud.

Simple fix: either get a tap and die set to fix the thread on the stud or replace the stud.

Yeah the lug nut is off but it won't go back on. I think I will just have a shop replace the stud for me. I really don't feel like messing with it.

Ehh not quite. You can do it yourself if you have the tool.

You dont even need the pressing tool. You can just use washers that fit around the stud, put the nut on and tighten it till the stud is flush with the hub.

reading owns you. He's referring to removing the stud NOT installing the stud.

I heard the rears come out no problem but the fronts don't.

Re: (GWInquisitor14)
thats what i'm talking about. I actually have a kit to re-live cross threaded lugs. Try going that route. If u don't have the tool. see if u can rent it or borrow it at a parts store bro. they'll charge u more if u go to a shop.

That's exactly my point. With the rear studs you don't need the special tool. The front ones you do. The reason being is that knuckle assembly prevents the studs from coming out completely where in the rear there is nothing that will block the studs from coming out completely.

Re: (Lord Helmet)
Since it is a front stud, you have to seperate the hub and knuckle, the rears are much easier. If you want to save some money, pull the assembly out and take it to a shop to seperate, install new stud, and repress the hub back together. Unless you have a press yourself and be carefull with the bearings.
