Snapped a rear wheel stud off today. Twisted right off, barely even put some torgue on it! How much pain am I going to go through putting a new one in? Can it be replaced on the car?

They are press fit in. Take the wheel off, get a big hammer, pound on the end of the stud with the threads on it as if you're trying to hammer it through the hub. Because, essentially that's what you're going to do. The studs are press fit into the hub from the back side. To put the new one in, either get a whole lot of washers, a socket, or I think you can even put the wheel back on. Anyway, you need some kind of spacer for that hole, put the stud through the hole, and tighten down the lug nut until it's flush with the back or I would recommend about 110 ft/lbs. Make sure it comes through the hole straight however you do it though.
BTW, I believe Autozone carries them in stock. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
