This video is what the doctor ordered......I am ABSOLUTLY EMPOWERED TO HANDLE THIS NOW!!! Thank you for being there!!
you prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?

@Harlem Julian Instablaster ;)
@Kyrie Darwin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kyrie Darwin It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Harlem Julian You are welcome xD
I just watched this 6 years after it was done, but can I add that you only need to remove one caliper - bracket bolt in most cases. The caliper can be rotated clear of the bracket and then the other pin comes out still attached to the caliper. It's a good time to clean and lube them anyway.
Can I also add that it's a good idea to check the nuts after a road test just in case they have settled in.
Been a mechanic for 50+ years and done quite a few of these!!!
is THAT EASY? thank god, I thought I had to replace the whole wheel hub, thanks!!!
Using this video second time now. Never broke these stud's on any vehicle ever, but have twice now on dang Sienna.
Great tips above and beyond the actual swapping of the stud - like using new lug nuts, using a different one for each stud you are seating, etc. Thanks for sharing!
Well done video. I had to perform this a few years ago on my wife's civic and this was great as a refresher for a broken stud I'm replacing tomorrow before work.
Easiest way I've seen yet... brilliant with cheap tools...
How much would be a fair price to have someone do this? My college age son had a flat, and the stud broke off in the attempt to remove the tire. They want $130 to replace the one stud.
@@marilynmacdoald3944 yup, sounds about right. It can take a while, depending on the car.
I literally am about to replace a front wheel bearing on my car because of that same reason and your video is going to save me time and money! Thank you for making this video! 🙏
Hi Carlos broke all5 studs on my Ford Ecape and was wondering was the wheel bearing the reason your studs broke.thanks for any Input
@@brianmoyer8510 no, not at all the wheel bearing had nothing to do with it. Almost every time that a stud breakes, it has to do with the excessive torque that the tire's shops apply to the log nuts. See normally a lug nut should be tighten somewhere between 80 ~140 lbs of torque depending on your vehicle's specifications, and one of those air ratchets that they use at their shops can produce up to 2 - 3 times that amount of torque so in time the studs or lug nuts just give up...
Hay Carlose thanks for the info with a bonus at that. Keep safe and GOD BLESS
@@brianmoyer8510 (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ ⁿᵒ ᵖʳᵒᵇˡᵉᵐ, and I really suggest you to look up your vehicle's torque specification. Stay safe and God bless you to! 👍
Bro same haha
Thanks man. I snapped one of my wheel studs changing over from my snow tires. I noticed that all of the studs on my 10 year old pick up were about done too. I will be replacing all of the studs. Thanks for the tip about replacing the nuts as well. I would have used the old ones! great video-thank you.
I learned good info here that is better than similar videos from some of the much bigger RUclips mechanics. I especially like (i) turning the lug nut over to get the flat surface up against that washer; and (ii) using a hand ratchet to draw in the stud. Most videos show an impact wrench, which risks stretching the threads on the new stud (which is probably what caused the old stud to fail in the first place!). Replacing all the nuts is a good idea, too. Thanks.
Best video out there by far. Shop quoted me $130 minimum. I’m gonna give it a try myself thanks !!!
Driving home in my lifted F250 last night, my 35" tire and wheel popped off and headed home without me. 7 out of 8 lug bolts sheared off. The wheel hit a parked truck, and then continued down the road. Luckily it didn't hit a person walking.
Thanks for this video. It will make fixing it much easier.
Snapped one while tightening a lug on my '09 Corolla. Your video helped me quickly get back on the road again.
Jason Ricci i just snapped the one on my rear right side .but im gonna wait till tommorow been to damn busy today.
Saw ur video yesterday.
Less than $10 for Wheel Stud and Lug nuts from Toyota Dealership BTW they quoted me $130 for the job and this particular dealership has one of the best prices in Long Island NY.
Followed ur step and mission accomplished!
Thank you!
Thank you thank you. Such a clear video. Had one break off while I was driving and this video is exactly what I needed to get them replaced
This was a really well thought out tutorial, lots of good tips! Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful video, I fixed ABS light and break light on my toyota prius 2013 by bleeding the break system and ended up breaking the one of the lug nut on front wheel and that's why I am here. It seems to be very easy. I first thought it might need some welding work and I had to take it to the welding shop. I hate to take my car to the mechanic.Most of them either cost too much or mess up other stuff . I fix almost everything myself, I might work on engine some day after my Prius gets to that stage.
Many palces that I've read or seen specifically warns to never hammer out the wheel studs, as that can damage the bearings. Wheel studs are supposed to be squeezed out (such as with a tie rod removal tool).
Excellent video. Simple and clear explanation. Thank you. The tire place should have hand tightening and then torqued to specs.
Thanks for the info I also like that you changed out the other studs figuring there could be a problem in the future thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this. My mustang GT studs are jacked up, 2 wheels are held in by 4 lugs. The other have messed up threads that are so hard to screw back on.
Great video and it’s always very helpful when you share the tips you learn along the way! Think about how much time you’ve saved👍🏼
A good trick I've learned is that it makes it easier if you put the bolts in the freezer before you go to install them
Just happened to me I was replacing my flat tire with a spare and it snapped so now my 15 min task turned into a 45 min task 🙄🙄🙄🙄
You’re geni*effing*us. Just replaced a broken stud in the front based on your instructions. I’m sure it’s going to last until I need to replace the front axles. Thank you! 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Jo Daddy
I was comming home from the hardware store bout 4 miles from home.The front driver's side wheel started flopping. Thinking I had a flat tire. Then all $%&# broke loose pulled over and the tire rolled passed me. Broke all 5 studs off . Watting for the tow truck. Found your video. Be working on it friday weather permitting. Big THANKS FOR THE VIDEO 😬🤔😃👍
Great video mate. The only little I would add is to check torque the lug nuts after a couple of days driving, had a couple that seemed to almost bed in after being replaced and were a bit down on torque. Nothing crazy or safety critical but about 20 lbs lower than they were torqued to. Keep up great work mate!
+Andrew Wilson Good advice. Thanks.
The spacer trick just saved my day. Thank you!
I enjoy your videos, I have to be honest, I have never had good luck with Dorman products, and I have seen a lot of other videos on RUclips where other mechanics have experience nothing but problems with products from them.
Thanks, man. I got to do 10 of these. Your tips helped a lot.
ALWAYS use a little grease on the washer(s) under the lugnut when pulling the new stud into the hub. That will reduce binding and easier to remove the washer AND/OR SPACER when backing off the lugnut.
I THOUGHT I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE HUB! Life saving for sho!
Thanks for this video, in particular the tip at 3:30 helped me figure out why my new stud wouldn’t slip in easily.
Thank you for posting! Great point on changing out the lug nuts as well. Didn't think about that.
Lug nuts don't normally go "bad" unless they have been abused or you have visible wear on the tapered seat. If they have never been cross threaded or beat on with a hammer or some other form of abuse, lug nuts don't actually go bad and they don't wear out unless of course you are pulling your wheels off every night and reinstalling them in the morning (so no one steals them?) But while your at it you ought to replace your motor mounts, transmission mounts and bolts, plus your tie rod ends are probably really bad if your lugs are so bad they need replaced, they get much more abuse and neglect than your lugs do.
Just replaced 2 wheel studs, worked perfectly. Thanks!!
Thank you! I'll be able to replace my studs tomorrow!
I've watched a few videos of how to do this, and this is the best one I've seen. Straight to the point and some helpful tips also. Thanks.
Great recommendations on checking all studs and using new lug nuts. 8 believe last time I took my car to the tire shop, the guy messed up one of the studs, to the point that it got loose and is missing.
Thanks for NOT putting any music on.
Thanks for the video this happened to me today while changing a flat I was so pissed off! lol It doesn't look too difficult.
Nicely done. Thanks for the great knowledgable video!
the reason it snapped off is because the lug nuts were put on backwards. It allowed movement when driving. That's why all the other lug nuts were bad also. They were ready to snap too. Good thing you fixed this for him before that happened as that would have been a bad day for him.
Thank you very much. Straight and to the point.
We need friends like this men in this world if he was mechanic shop they won't do it knowing it's safety god bless him and he's family
Thank you, super useful. I'm going to do that tomorrow. 😅 I'll be replacing all 4 studs and buying 8 nuts to suck them through and new nuts once that's done now. Haha. Thank you.
4 studs sucking in 8 nuts? We clearly have a different preference of entertainment, Agustin
@@dr.derekrobinson1920 lol.
Thanks for the upload! Really helped me out today!
I want to thank you so much for showing me that it’s that easy to do this and I also want to thank you for explaining things in such a way that it’s logical and you do a good job thank you
Thanks for making this video. Great info, lots of help!
The best video by far. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much. When I did my brakes a year ago on my Honda Accord One of the lug nuts bolts broke off. I was like that’s fine I still have for holding it on. Well I just did my brakes again and another one broke off, so Thinking it’s going to be a huge project I have been using my other car and my Honda has just been sitting there because I do not feel safe with it only having three Lugnuts holding on the front right tire. But now I know I can fix it!
Guess who’s not paying 80$ for this job ☺️
Yeah I accidentally snapped a lug nut when I was changing brakes and this helped allot!! Thank you
Lisle makes a lug stud installer. It's basically a bearing that removes the friction you get from turning a lug nut against the spacer or washer. It's well worth having.
Thanks snapping studs in 2022 :) thanks for the refresher course on how not to waste money XD.
Is there an issue if we replace just 01 lug bolt, will it cause unbalance.
Looking at the thumbs up/down ratio, like almost 10% of folks disliked this video. I think it's an excellent instructional how-to video. All the comments seem positive as well. How does anyone account for all the thumbs down? What's their beef?
I ask that about most of my videos. Try to go out of my way to show details, and tips, still get a thumbs down. Not a lot, but still.
It was a good video (much better than anything I could do), but most of the thumbs down were probably ASE certified mechanics that have been instructed to NEVER hammer out lug studs! Always use the proper tools, but quick and dirty works too, though about 10% of the time you will damage a wheel bearing...
I'll tell you the answer to that question! SOME people are just miserable and love to shit on the world. Misery loves company! EXCELLENT video. 100% clear and to the point.
Thank you sir. You really helped me out 👍🏼
Thanks for the video, I really needed it
You the best ever i learn a lot
From you brother 💯🥃🥃thank you so much
The dislike are the people that paid to get them done and didn’t realize it was that easy lol
Excellent video. Well done. 👍
Great video, sir! This is gonna be so helpful! I am currently fixing my first car (Pontiac G3 2010) My dad is helping me but accidentally broke one of these nuts on the rare wheel hub as we were changing the brake drums. This is gonna be so helpful
You can also rent a tool (for free) from advance auto parts.
@@JoDaddysGarage That's even better! Seriously, thanks and God bless🙏🙏 You are helping this Nigerian guy a lot😊😊
this was super easy thanks thought it was gonna be a way bigger deal than it was appreciate it!!
Great video. I too have a toyota sienna and had a flat. Stud snapped when trying to take flat off. This was straight forward and informative.
Oh my gosh I'm so happy I'm 11 and I have my own car and my dad was going to put her in the scrap but this idea so good
Swampy ur focused on that ? he’s 11
Awesome vid. Helped me out big time.
Perfect! Great video. Thanks.
I broke my stud with a high torque impact wrench right before I was leaving town for the fourth, I’m not going now but the impact wrench passed the high torque test god damnit!
You always start with one issue and end with two new ones
well said, I fixed ABS light and break light by bleeding the break system and ended up breaking the one of the lug nut.
Had to rotate my tires and now my lug nut stud broke off 🙃
One step forward six steps back
Nice tips. It worked perfectly.
Thank you. Helped a lot
Great video saved me money today
Nicely Done Video :)
Nice repair and how to.. thanks for the upload.

you don't have to take the cowgirl to take the
Thanks for the great video!!!
Great video. Thanks!
You ever just go through the comments to see how many people also broke their lugs lol
Have not.
Great information. 👍👏👏👏
Nice work
Excellent video sir
You made this look so easy. I hit a pothole yesterday and my rear wheel came off.I pulled over to get the tire and the rim got cracked from the inside and all 5 bolts were broken🤦♂️
Thanks. Sorry to hear that.
@@JoDaddysGarage I thought you had to press them out for sake of wheel bearing
Excellent video. Subscribed.
Very informative thank you!!
awesome video!!
Thanks for sharing,
That was pretty helpful
Great video thank you so much
Doing gods work brother 🙏
Nice video thanks for the info
You are the best!
great video, thank you!
Thanks to Toyota for putting a relief in so the new lugs will go in without mods.
That reminds me of my ex brother in laws car years ago. He decided to change all the wheel nuts around backward because he thought they looked better. Four ruined rims, nuts and studs later he calls me asking why he is hearing a "funny noise" when he is driving.
I woulda told him that funny noise was the car laughing at him...
He reminds me of the song Rock Star by Smash Mouth, "Somebody told me life was going to roll me, 'cause I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed."
They charged me $95 to change 2 studs that were damaged due to flat tire. I wish I woulda seen this video and done it myself
thanks bro I forgotten good help
Great vid. I had a tire place over torque my jeep rims and I went to put brakes on and snapped two lug nuts off at the bevel where it seats into the rims. I was not happy. Joe do you use antiseize on the lug nuts? Thanks
+Double R Restorations I normally don't, but that's not a bad idea.
Glad you put it in park!! 😲
Im certainly going to try this thanks
Great video! Ford wanted to fit NEW hub etc etc £650 for £7 lug
Thanks. I buddy of mine needs to do this. I just shared this vid with him lol
Where do you buy the plate fi for lug nuts
