Hey guys, I went to get my tire patched up but I found out that I have 2 lug nuts on my driver side wheel that are cross threaded and 1 on the passenger front side. And because of that, they said that they can’t patch my tire up and they said that I should go to crappy tire to get it fixed. However, before I do that, i was just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what can be done? Thanks!

Mark

You will probably have to replace the bolt and the nuts, Not overly amounts of work. Be ur safest bet anyways

Sounds like you gotta change the Studs. Not expensive at all. MAYBE 5.00 each if that.

how to get a stud out?—grab a baby sledge, I perfer a hachet, something blunt/heavy, take off wheel first, then hammer away, if the studs were being kept i’d say thread a lug on it then hammer, if they’re junk, it don’t matter.
