Cross-Threaded a lug nut :(

**cboth686** · 03-20-2010

Can anyone help me out? I was putting my summer wheels on today, and i can't even get one of the lugs to catch. I tried driving without it but it doesn't seem to safe, a little wobbly.

Im hoping to god I dont have to replace the whole hub. I've got the lug nut off, but i cant get one to catch back on. I had it on there about half way already, when i couldn't turn it anymore, so i decided why not take it off and try again? I just replaced this hub two months ago so if anyone has any suggestions I'm open ears.

Thanks guys..

I dont remember if you can on these, but you should be able to just replace the one stud. BUT you probably gotta take the hub off to do it.

To me it looks like you can get the lug nut replaced without removing the wheel bearing hub. The knuckle has a “shallow” part at about 135* when you look at it, or another way to put it is at 45* from vertical towards the front of the car. Just take a hammer and knock out the old stud while aligning it with the shallow area. Slip in a new stud, place a nut on and draw it in by tightening the nut. Hopefully it goes well for you, I also suggest since your there just replace them all with ARP studs. Good luck.
