broken wheel stud

[sahara0207]

yay! now should i replace them all or just that one?

if your gonna bother with one, do them all... its the same werk, and once yer doing it, it will take just a few minutes more to bang in the new ones...

Is anything wrong with the other ones? I wouldn't do it. Replacing studs loosens up the connection between the stud and the hub. If the others are not stripped or crossed, you'd be better off brushing on some anti-seize and replacing the lug nuts.

By the looks of the others when you replace the busted one I would put some anti seize on the studs. It will prevent that from happening again.

i had to drill one out, from a rusted on lug. they come in sets of 5. either replace them all and use the old ones as spares, or replace them as needed. personaly i just replaced the one that was drilled out, it wont affect anything.

A good question would be how did it break? Did it break while you were removing it threfore you just need anti sieze on the others or did it break because of excessive torque. If it was a torque issue I would replace all of them becuase the others were most likely subjected to the same condition. I did my son's CJ not long ago and placed the studs in the freezer over night. They slipped in with just a few taps and locked in solid when they warmed up.

By looking at the picture of the other studs........ There is alot of aluminum on them..... I would clean the old studs and replace the broken one. Looks like you have aluminum wheels and they were not torqued to 80 lbs properly and it came loose and broke the one stud.
