ok guys to make a long story short, 2 of my wheel studs broke off last night! ALL DAY, i've been trying to figure out how to get them off and i still can't,

I believe those are pressed in and you cant replace them without haveing the old ones pressed out and the new ones pressed in. Best bet is to go to a junk yard and get a new spindle. I believe (its been a while since i did brake work) that whole assembly that the rotor slides onto is one piece. Shouldnt be too expensive.

well i hope that's not the case! lol, but i still have to get the spindle off to replace it anyway, shops are gonna charge me labor to do the work which will bring the total to about $200, which i don't wanna pay, so i bought a 32mm socket and i'm gonna try and take off that big nut in the middle....wish me luck....

That big ass bolt is kinda hard to get off, but set a air gun up to it and play with it for a while.
yeah i definately am gonna have to invest into an airgun/compressor in the future, i'm gonna go ahead and take it to the shop as to what i hear the nut is spec'd at 134lbs or so, i actually moved the freakin car when i tried to do it myself, lol the ebrake was on and it was in first! man i gotta get that ebrake checked out, well thx every1 for their suggestions, but this time the right tool for the job was one i didn't have......

Its probaly too late for this info but i was told by a local shop that they would do the stud replacement for $20. Not to shabby. Just check around.
