Hey guyz, i thought you would find this kinda humorous.. But to make a long story short, i was switching my stock rims out for some 17' enkei rse's. But they came off a maxima, so at the time we didn't know that the lugs were 1mm to narrow, stripped my lug bolt's 1/4 inch..

then I was like freak that, I started to put my stock lug nut's back on and then got all but one one and turn turn pinkkkkkkkk....I broke it off. Has anything ever happened to yall like this before, if so. How much to repair..

Thanks

So u mean u got a broken "stuck"???
Buy a slug from honda, cost few dollars, u can ask honda to replace for u cost 80Cad, or get some muffler shop to fix it for a bit cheaper.........

i was chaning a flat for an ex girlfirend adn when i was putting the nuts back on, this one in particular never seemed to tighten...thing was that because the car was hot, and i was obviously so buff

that i was actually turning h nut and the lug to the point where the lug ripped off the brake....this was on a celica...damn toyotas...

studs are easy to replace.

You should be able to take off the dust shield behind the rotor, and punch out the old stud, and place a new one in there w/o removing the rotor.

At least, i could do it like this on my 4g, should be the same on your 5g.

Now sure about the Preludes...but on my Integra..you had to take the hub apart to get the studs out. Which meant you separated the sealed wheel bearing...which was only meant to go together once. Which meant I had to get a new wheel bearing plus new wheel studs. Big Pain. But the 5th gen may be different...I haven't noticed.
