mrhappypantz · 06-28-2009, 12:36 AM

off the front right. Just wondering if it would be safe to drive and how much would it be to replace one? Is it hard to change one?

Schneeb · 06-28-2009, 12:49 AM

So you broke a stud.

mrhappypantz · 06-28-2009, 01:16 AM

Ya haha. Would it be cheaper if I just bought 1 and did it myself? Would that be hard?

Zeuceone · 06-28-2009, 01:29 AM

If you have the tools to do it and a time to spare, DIY it. The stud is like a couple dollars.

DatBigDude · 06-28-2009, 01:31 AM

4 bucks and 20 or so mins and your good

LakewoodSI2007 · 06-28-2009, 01:33 AM

no hard at all. stud is 7 bucks at the dealer. had to replace two a couple months ago.

mrhappypantz · 06-28-2009, 01:36 AM

a huge hammer and some patience.

mrhappypantz · 06-28-2009, 01:47 AM

so I would just bang it out and then bang it back in?

Zeuceone · 06-28-2009, 01:48 AM

Ahah. Pretty much

LakewoodSI2007 · 06-28-2009, 01:54 AM

pretty much. took me 10 min each stud.

You would be wise to buy a torque wrench too. Might save you a headache in the future.

Emerican · 06-28-2009, 02:03 AM

Got mine done at a local little tire shop for $60 with labor. I didn't know they were so cheap to do or I would have done it myself. I also failed inspection for it, so fix it before you get it inspected!

mrhappypantz · 06-28-2009, 02:08 AM

Its an 09, pretty sure i wont need an inspection for a while. Well looks like im going to be doing this myself. thanks for the help!

Socal doesn't have inspections. Just smog which is not due for like 5-6 years on new cars.
