I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I got to ask. Last night while we were swapping wheels, we took off the lugs from the front right wheel (I only had 3), and one of the studs was so stripped, that no lug would go back on there. Now I am left with only 2 lugs holding my wheel (opposite each other). I had no choice but to drive to work that way this morning. So what do you think I ruind by now, and how much damage could I cause by that?

Try not to bash me too hard for driving like that.

 

are they at least torqued evenly? theres always the case of the tire wobbling, and bending the 2 studs u got left and the hub itself.

Yeah, we made sure we torqued them evenly and properly, since we had no choice and were stuck at that moment. I may not be able to get to a shop until Thursday morning.

 

I've been through the same deal. Just try and keep driving to a bare minimum, and listen at all times for wheel wobbling. You don't want to be riding down the highway on 3 wheels and a rotor.

 

Well, this morning I lost that 3rd lug that I forced on the stud the other night, so there were only 2 left, so I had them replaced first thing this morning... but for all of you who are wondering, you CAN change them without taking off the hub.

1. Remove caliper
2. Remove rotor
3. Turn hub so the stud is turned towards front of car (gives room to tap it out)
4. Slightly grind one edge on stud on inner end (gives slack so you can slide it in straight)
5. Tap stud in lightly
6. We used a small sealed bearing over stud, and ran a lug against it to pull stud into hub
7. Put rotor and caliper back on
