Please help! I was rotating my wheels for a 2001 Max. The nuts were tight so i had to use a long steel bar for more torque and leverage. As i was doing this, snap. I snapped one of the front wheel lugs so only half of it remains from the front of the rotors. Any advice on how to swap out a new lug would be appreciated. Detailed instructions would be great. Thanks in advance. I cant believe the lugs are so weak. Sigh. Crappy Nissan Quality i Guess

 

Bumped up. Someone must know how I can possibly fix this with all the other experiences such as swapping out rotors, suspensions, etc.

 

You have to purchase a "new" stud somewhere.

To install it you have to remove the caliper and rotor and then removed the broken stud. Not really hard but time consuming.

Dumb****s at the local Tire Discounters did it to my car this weekend. They said the "lug was overtightened". I said "you guys are the only ones that have EVER worked on the wheels... " Dont EVEN try to blame me.

 

call your local tire shops.. I did that before...
Nissan wanted 60 bucks to fix it.. my tire guy done it for 12 bucks
took him about 10 min
