Lug nut bolts
When i got my seasonal change over the tire guy rethreaded 2 of my lug nuts, but as far as i know the rest are ok i had to change my tire and thats when my lug nut and bolt broke off.and the other one i found rethreaded.
Is there a way to replace my lug nut bolts
Thx In Advance

the lug bolts are pressed in. If you have an air hammer you can push them out. Or the good ole framing hammer will work too just will take some effort and time. when you get the new ones just slip it in the hole from the back and put a washer on the bolt on the front then a lug nut that is open (not a chrome cap style)so it can go all the way down on the bolt and tighten the crap out of it till the bolt bottoms out on the back side.
Although using the washer as a spacer will work, there is a good possibility of stretching the threads, causing the nut to eventually loosen. Best bet is to remove the rotor, drive the old stud with a drift pin, and drive the new stud. Use a bit of lubricant to make insertion a bit easier. Clean the excess lube with Brake Kleen. After seeing the pictures, wire brush the spindle and spray it with WD or Blaster PB. When done, don't forget to put the dust cap back on.
