After replacing a broken bolt & lug nut the brake light flashes

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.

jack up vehicle, remove tire. knock out old stud with a hammer and punch. put new stud in from back if need be. to draw it up tight.use a lug nut with something under it so when you tighten the nut it brings the stud into position. remove the nut you put on. and replace the tire. good-day! if the brakes and rotor are in the way. you will have to remove them to replace the wheel stud.

It is not recommended to drive it like that. It's not too bad to replace but it depends on your level of mechanical skill, You need to remove the brake caliper and disc and then you can simply knock the remains of the broken stud out with a hammer and punch, To fit the new one insert the stud and then put a large nut over the thread, then fit the lug nut and tighten it to pull the stud into the hub, then simply remove the lug nut and put it all back together.

jUST TAKE ALL THE LUGS NUTS OFF & REMOVE ROTOR WITH A 5 LLB SLEDGE HAMMER KNO0CK BROKEN BOLT & REPLACE WITH NEW BOLT

take tire off, take brake caliper off, remove rotor, take nut and bearing off, then hammer out old studs and hammer in new ones. Tim

What you do to replace a broken lug is, first you have to remove your tire and wheel from the vehicle(after you loosen the other lugs and jack it up of course) Then you are going to have to get the rotor off but in order to do that you have to remove your brake calipers and mounting bracket. There should be 2 bolts holding your caliper(the thing that your brake shoes are sitting in) remove those two bolts and take caliper off. set off to side or on frame somewhere(do not let hang from hose). Next you need to take off mounting bracket which should also have 2 bolts securing it to the vehicle. Remove those 2 bolst and set bracket aside. After that remove your rotor, it should slide right off. On the back of the rotor you should be able to see the tops off your lugs, find the broken one and punch it out with a hammer and punch hitting it from the front to the back. After you get the old 1 out just stick the new 1 in. It won't go in very far because it will be very tight. Use the lug nut and tighten it down to draw it through so that it is flush. Hope I was able to help you out.

Loosen tire lug nuts. Jack up the car and remove lug nuts and tire. Remove two bolts holding the caliper in place. Remove the the two bolts holding pads in place. Hang caliper with a wire from wheel so brake line is not stressed. Mount new calipers in correctly and tigthen pad bolts. Put caliper on and tighten caliper bolts. Replace tire and lugs nuts. Jack car down and tigheten lug nuts.

its just esayer to take it to a tire shop the charge like 10 bucks a stud

aslo you have to have a press to press them on o ther thtan that theyr easy to replace

You have to remove the tire/wheel assy. remove the brake drum, you will see the spindle with the bolts there. punch out the broken bolts install new buy pushing thru the hole.Find some regular nuts that will fit over the stud, put your new nuts on and tighten up till flush in back.
