aright, im not to sure what its called but the screw you screw your lugnuts to is what im talking about. (sorry if that was confusing, not sure what its called)

Anyways, i was putting my rims back on and while i was putting one of the lug nuts in, i couldnt feel it catch thread, so i put my finger in to feel around and my finger pushes something back.(???)

I remove the wheel and realized that the screw that screws onto the lugnut is what i pushed back!! Im positve these things dont move at all…

So now im left with three screws to bolt my rims to, but im to scared to drive it like this, not sure what i should do, maybe i can try using something to pull it out like tweezers, but i just wanna know if there is serious damage to the hub.

Thanks

They’re called studs. Normally these studs won’t come out unless you hammer them out.

I don’t know enough to suggest something, but you should get a replacement stud from Nissan Dealer (or somewhere equivalent).

the stud is held on by splines, just hammer it back in and away you go.
