WHEEL STUDS BREAKING - 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser

You need to take this to a tire shop and have them look into this and do some inspections, I think the wheel hub is bent.

They are pressed in from the backside of the wheel hub that the studs stick out from. And not like needing a heavy press- once you get the old studs driven out (usually works with a hammer or small mallet), you can easily draw the new studs right into a snug fit by using the lug nuts, the new ones you just bought along with the 5 new studs, available at most any parts store.

See it's not the lug nuts that are broken, those nuts tighten the tire to the hub by the lug nut studs that the tire fits over. It is the studs themselves that are breaking off. This is common enough that parts stores carry replacements. A chevy dealership might have just your size in stock, if you don't mind paying extra high dealership charges, but it might not be that much for these rather inexpensive items. In a lot of cases, the studs can be removed from the hub as it sits, but there are cases where the hub must be removed from the vehicle for stud replacement. You can eyeball it and pretty much tell if the studs can be removed easily, after you take the wheel (tire) off. For any work on the vehicle, don't rely on the jack. Use blocks or jack-stands always.

Hammer is the way to go.Get a bigger one.

eather a bent wheel or a bad wheel bearing, Both of these could be your problem , Try swaping sides and see if does it on same side if so i would say wheel bearing out. If does on other side i would say it's a bad wheel. Good luck to you.

does it have the stock rims or aftermarket rims.???

Yeah , it's a fairly simple repair, All the wheel studs must be replaced and lug nuts also.Closely examine the wheel or get competent tyre replacement company to double check for damage ! Remove the brake disc caliper and brake disc itself (usually 2 cross head screws) , tap off (gently) it may be stuck thru corrosion / rust etc , Broken studs can be knocked out(towards drive shaft ) of the hub assy with a suitable drift and hammer (splined into hub) . The studs are a servicable replacement part. Check all other wheel nuts as this is usually a result from poor fixing or wheel replacement recently .. Good luck

Hit the drums with a hammer. Serious to god! Hit the sides, hit the face between the studs, soak studs and center ring with wd40. Don't worry about breaking the drum. You have to be a muscle man to do so and as long as you don't hit the studs, you will not break anything either.

you migh need just bigger lug nuts there easy to replace just remothe the rotor hamer the old studs out slide in the new one just as if you were puting on the rim with out acually put in it on so it will set even with the others and thats it

New coil springs you need.Has they are a common fault on them Breaking Check them for damage.And replace.

Studs are pressed in. Heat the studs with a propane torch, and then use a ballpein hammer to pound them out. Insert new studs, and use nuts to draw them into place
