Yep .. the cold is here.

come out of my nice warm house today to find my rear tire flat on the ground. OK no prob right, jack up the car and put on the spare.

3 out of 5 studs break off. Omg piss me right off.

Its to cold to do any thing so we put the spare on with 2 of the remaining lugs and drive the car to a dealership where a friend of mine works at.

Any 1 replaced there rear studs before? how hard is it and what kinda money shoud I be looking at to spend tomarrow when they get this done?

Is it a hard job to do?

dude that sucks, hint of advice..use anti-seize lube works like a charm so you dont tear off studs, and i have no problems with my wheels coming loose at all, if torqued correctly.

if im not mistaken, should be able to take a hammer to em, pop em out and pop new ones back in
local shop, est 50$
dealer may be more
