What kinda job is it to replace 2 broken lugnut studs on the wheel rear on a 02 gt. it almost seems like that abs thing would be in the way. i heard you may have to pull out the axle or something. any input would be great. the douches who put my rims on cross threaded 2 on the same wheel and when i took the rim off later to put my catback on to make it easier they snapped off. sucks

been there, It's a pain if you can't access power/air tools for pulling the new stud in. you have to release the ebrake cable on the caliper itself then dismount the caliper and use a coathanger to hold it up. rotor comes off easy. just remember a BFH will be the best tool (big effin hammer) to remove the old, On the new i took a sacrificial lugnut and cut the end off so it was basically an open ended nut, i used my impact to pull it in until it crapped out then i went to a breaker with a cheater and that sent it home smooth

Just take it to a tire shop for repair. It will cost very little and will be much less hassle.

i found out after i went for a rotate and balance where i buy my tires from, since it was cross threaded the would have done it for free if i supplied the parts... Place is in my family though...

Jeez, while I supplied the (ARP) studs, I had the local Tire Kingdom install 10 of em for me for $40.
