so im going to repaint my front right rim, and i find out that my lug nuts are SUPER loose, i have no idea why, im just lucky i noticed this in my garage. after getting 3 of them off, i go for the last, and it was stickin' REAL bad, so i give it so much pressure that the actual lug rips off. i have a feeling its not gonna be a cheap fix, any input???

NOT a pretty sight!!

 

You need a new Wheel stud.

Cheap part, not incredibly hard to do. You can knock the old one out, and the new one in with a BFH.

They are like 2 dollars each. You just need to replace that one stud.

 

cheap!!! but labor sucks! unbolt them two screws! hopefully its not rusted up! mine was baddd! we had to drill them out!

 

How could you not tell? Your wheel should have been shaking like crazy.

Mark this up for another idiot with aftermarket rims who did not check his lugs.

 

its gonna be a pain, the screws on there are stripped as can be!

 

you gotta drill them things out! not to hard just wd-40 and a drill!

 

got them drilled out, now the calipers are stuck as hell.

 

You have to press the wheel bearings out to replace a stud on the front knuckles.
