Oh snap!

Damn it! I broke a wheel stud off the cavalier today. Stupid tire place must have used a damn air wrench to put it on. Anyone replaced one before? (96 cavi with rear drums) I looked up the instruction's and it doesn't look too bad. Just wondering if anyone has some tips.

Call the tire place and make them pay for it to get done.

But if you dont wanna go that route.. replace it yourself.. but still make sure you call up the tire place and bitch them out for it. They make tourqe sockets for a reason. Jeez.

Well it has been like 25k since the wheel has been off. (totally spaced on rotating them)

That tire place has a big sign that says "Not responsible for broken wheel studs because we torque by hand." Bull @!#$!!

Also any tips on pulling the @!#$ wheel off if its stuck on really tight??
