some nut musta tried to steal my 2002 civic rim or something, b/c of wfh my civic has been sittin in the driveway for a year, which was bad b/c my alternator locked up, but i fixed that. so anyway now i resolve to take it out at least once a month, and last week the driverside wheel felt loose, so i got out my torque wrench and... nuttin it spins funny. so i try to remove it and it feels wrong, well cross threaded? lug nuts bonded to wheel studs? well going lefty loosey it snapped off. ok
then another...
the third too?
holy shit all 4 studs.
replaced a wheel stud b4 on the subbie, you guys walked me through it, it was simple. the civic is not simple, there is no port hole to knock the stud out and put one in, you have to remove the whole entire hub.
or go about this in a super horrible way, like slicing up the wheel stud, b/c of clearance
(did this for all 4 new wheel studs, well 5 actually i bought an extra in case and i used it b/c 1 threads were messed up)
and grinding in a groove for the wheel stud to slide into
but this also means every wheel stud that has to be knocked out needs to be cut also.
went through 4 metal dremel discs
