How difficult? I imagine not very… all I have to do is break off every other fucking stud on my car (assuming they’re all as bad as the two I tried last night), jack the car up, take the caliper off, take the rotor off, dump WD40 by the pound on the hub assembly, hammer the old studs out, insert new ones in. =[

If _is_ difficult, how must cost am I looking at?

=[

A friend got a little overexcited during my suspension install, and I guess he jumped like a monkey on them, because my wheel lugs and wheel studs are fucking FUSED together. I tried taking my driver’s side front wheel off and the stud broke. I tested another and it doesn’t look like the first was a fluke.

So I was soaking the lugs with WD40 all today. I them off, rather painlessly. I inspected the threads and they all seem fine.

It’s just the one I snapped that I have to replace, thankfully.
