so I got new wheels and im changing them and I do the 3 wheels and im on the last one in the rear. I am loosening the 2 lug nuts and lock nut doing it criss cross pattern. and im trying to loosen this one lugnut. i pul l nd pull wont budge. So I am yanking it really hard straight for like 30 seconds and boom. it breaks off. so now I have a broken off studand the one rear wheel is sitting on three lugnuts. The question is how do I fix that, do I need to order a hub? I am not sure what part I need to get to replace it. I am so sad =( I shoudl never be near tools again. I always seem to screw something up. Also am I able to drive it to a shop near by of course driving slow? Will it hold up? Suggestions, comments, concerns please. ---

If you drive slow and keep an eye on it you should be fine with 3/4. All you need to do is get a new nissan wheel stud and lug nut, hammer out the old one, and pull the new one through. Take off the rotor and caliper and it should be really simple. I know its easy on my skyline anyway, pulsar could be different though. Either way its a simple fix. ---

changing a stud is a 10 minute job. Just take off the wheel, and rotor. pound out the old one. and press the new one in with a lug nut. ---

> [@pigbenis](#): > > front or rear? they did rear They take the same time to change. After the wheel comes off it is 2 bolts and a couple swings of a hammer
