iight, here's the deal, my right front wheel has a problem because one of the screws that stick out are messed up so the rim lock won't fit....i need to put a lock on that side to keep my rim SAFER...anyway, do i have to replace the whole brake pad and everything or is there a way to just change that screw?

I hope you guys understand what i'm talkin bout cause i know i'm not explaining it well...but i plan on putting rims on this week and besides a wheel alignment, i also gotta get this done...someone please inform me on what i should do about the screw.....

 

It sounds like you are referring to one of your wheel studs. I replaced a wheel stud last weekend. It's pretty easy to do, and searching for "wheel stud" will give you lots of results which should be helpful. This one: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ght=wheel+stud has pretty decent instructions. Most of these threads deal with people who have broken the stud off, but the same procedure should apply if your stud's threads are messed up.
