    If the tire place that did your rims screwed it up, ask them to replace it.

    WRONG i went to western auto........i bought a new lug (the bolt i assume ) for 2 bucks and a new nut ( the nut that hold the wheel on the lugs.) they were like 15 bucks for a set of 4. so they all match on the wheeels i mean. THen u take of the wheel.....take off the cylander---just pull iutcomes rite off---its so siumple is hard to comrihend. then u take a hammer and bang out the old bolt...and put the new one back in. i bought extras just incase. their genaric 4x100 lugs. dont need to get bent over at a dealership

    well when i had sears mount my Racing Harts the asshole cross threaded the locking lug. Brought it back for them to fix because if im correct you have to pull the hub out a bit to get the stud out. Thats when they scratched my rim and problems began and took 2 months to get them to replace it. The front studs are not as easy as the rear. The rear can be tapped out no problem and replaced easily but i almost possitive the hub has to be pulled out a little. Oh and the ripped my cv boot when pulling the hub out...

    Most studs can be HAMMERED inward. Just takea hammer to it and knock it back into wheel. Just when your hammering it make sure theres room behind the hub so it will clear without hitting anything its a pressed fit . To install new one: put it into hole then put washers on outside and put lugnut on. then tighten up with a airgun till it draws itself into hub.

    if it wont hammer through (mine didnt fit) just hacksaw it off. then on the new stud, just grind the head down some so it'll fit by the hub, and hammer it back in.

    Ya, I had the same problem a few weeks when changing my pads. I did the exact same thing:
    -Saw off the old lug.
    -Grind of one side of the lug head and hammer it in (make sure theres enough give so that it doesn't damage the thread)
    You might have to grind the hub a tiny bit but it wont hurt the car.
