Anyone ever replace a Wheel Stud?
We had a bad rain in Phoenix. This caused a bad pot hole, which caused a bent rim. Removing the bent rim revealed a Bad Wheel Stud that snapped off.
It was not a good day.
Has anyone ever replaced one on their SC?
Can I follow this video?
Any chance I can do it without taking off the caliper?

I can buy one stud, or twenty studs for like $10 more. Is this a broken part fix, or a replace them all at once fix?
It was not a good day.

i would try it with everything on...you really have to hit it hard to remove the stud...that’s why I used a five pound. I think they pulled the caliper and disk to make it easier to insert the new stud.
there is a .pdf in the first post of this thread

Thanks BGW!
Think I can just replace the one, or should I do all twenty?

i always put grease or never seize on the studs...once is usually enough for the life of the car.
it prevents rust and ensures you will never break another wheel stud.
mine was on my TransAm right after I made the purchase and the first time I removed the wheels.
one of the lugnits had a little rust and I twisted it right off...

It turns out you can do it without taking off the caliper or the rotor. Toyota, with their engineering genius, created just enough bend in their dust shield so you can knock the old one out and insert a new one with very little trouble.
