I broke one of my front, driver side lug nut studs while tightening the lug nut. So how do I replace it? How do I get the old lug nut stud out and put in a new one? Where can I get a new lug nut from (I have the regular s2000 ones, not wheel locks). Thanks!

may be wrong, but my thoughts

I believe the bolts are pressed into the hub, you would either need to get them pulled out, or more likely drilled/bored out, then press a new bolt in. A better idea would be to get a new hub assembly.

you can find a stock lug nut from a lot of members who added locks, they will have 4 extra lugs

nope...i did the same thing. They are not pressed in. Take it in to your dealership, and they should be able to replace it for you fairly easily. Mine was under warranty, so i did not get charged, the stud is < $20 and if you can get the remaining stud out of your current lug, that will save you some money too!

Johnny - how the bolts are attached to the hub if they are not pressed? thanks

They are pressed in, you can hit them out with a hammer. For the front you can change one without pressing out the hub. Its a very tight fit to get them out, but it can be done. Im not sure about the rear studs, never changed them.

oh...sorry, i meant they are pressed in, but not attached permanently to the hub. Some cars have a hub with the lugs permanently in them. My bad, i didnt clarify! Yes, they can just be hammered out!

thanks I had a friend help me change out the stud. Luckily he has access to a bearing press. But now I have a check engine light

got the engine light fixed
