How to Fix Broken or Stripped Lug Studs - JerryRigEverything

2014-02-20
all right so we're going to switch out the lug nut studs on this car you can see that this one is just snapped completely off so I'm going to do is I'm going to move it up and pound it through so to pop that guy out basically I just took some Lube spread it on there kind of round there really quick and then I just took a normal hammer tap it on a few sides and then he actually hit it pretty hard I'm getting some pretty solid swings at it and then it just pop the broken stud out of there so now I have it in the hole these little grooves right here which kind of help it stay in once it's in keep it from going in all the way so if you have a clean shot at it from the back you can tap it a couple times with a hammer you just want to make sure that it comes out you know perpendicular to the metal part here what I'm going to do right now see if I can just pull it through using one of my nuts right here if you get a washer and stick it around the edge it'll makes it so that the nut can pull it through all the way instead of getting caught right here where the threads stop because once the nut gets to here it can't pull it through anymore because there's no more threads to grab onto so I'm going to grab some washers put around there and just pull it through so instead of finding a washers I found this little hook right here that has a big enough circle on the end that as rotate this it pulls the stud through instead so I'm just going to keep on tightening this down until it's all the way flush with the back of the metal taking a wrench that was slightly bigger than the lug stud slipping it on plus a little metal ring and also you know just remember that the washers would do just as good of a job as this I said want to run to the store and it has it pulled flush against the back just like these other ones are and that is it now I can just just pop this off and the magical contraption worked so you want to do this without the tire in place because if you put the tire on and then try to tighten it through here you're going to end up damaging your rim anyway that's it that's how you change your luck study you
