Need help, wheel mounting bolts.
Friday, October 14, 2005 3:57 PM
First what the heck are they called? The 5 bolts that your wheel is held in place by, and the lugnuts keep the rim on. I snapped one damn near in half when taking off a lugnut, and now im running with 4 bolts for about a day now.

Where can i go to get a replacement bolt, and anyone have a quick description on how to replace it? Is it just the bolt i need or the entire thing that holds the rim on? Comments are appreciated.

ok, here goes, if you have LUG nuts, right? You still with me? And you have bolts that those LUGS go onto, get this... its the best part! Maybe, and I mean maybe, cause I could be wrong here, someone correct me if I am! Could they be called LUG bolts? HAHAHAHA!!! I'm just bustin on ya man, no hard feelins I hope. Anyway, you can get them at Autozone. What you are goin to have to do is also get a T55 torx bit, so you can get the hub off, the LUG bolts are spleens from the back of the hub. I suppose you could just take a hammer and bang it out of the hub, you might need a punch tool if it broke real close to the hub. Cost ya about a buck and about 4 for the T55 Torx bit. Oh and by the way, I ran for a year on 4 bolts on the front primary drive wheel of my cav and never had a problem So if you aren't too sure about it, I wouldn't rush into doing it.

There is no need to remove the hub when changing the stud. Just bang it out with a hammer.
