My tire came off while driving and I need to replace two broken bolts.
YOU DON'T SAY WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE YOU OWN. SO , THIS IS A RATHER GENERIC TYPE ANSWER. THE HUB OR AXLE SHAFT HAS THE WHEEL STUDS PRESSED INTO IT. THE LUG NUTS FASTEN TO THEM. TO REPLACE A BROKEN STUD YOU MUST USE A PRESS OR A DRIFT PIN AND A HAND SLEDGE HAMMER TO KNOCK OUT THE BROKEN STUD. YOU CAN REPLACE THE BROKEN STUD THE SAME WAY. THE PROBLEM IS YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO REMOVE THE AXLE OR THE HUB, OR THE DISC TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE STUD. AN EASY TASK IT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT TOOLS. IF NOT JUST TAKE IT TO A REPUTABLE TIRE STORE AND THEY PROBABLY WILL REPLACE IT CHEAPER THAN YOUR LOCAL GARAGE WILL. BE PREPARED TO SHELL OUT $45.00 TO REPLACE A $3.00 STUD.

I could not wait 24hours for a responce, so I figuredit out on my own. I pressed in on the axel and when it receded onthe other sidethere was enough room for a scoket to take off the bearing case which is where you put in the lug nut bolts. Had them pressed into place and put everything esle back together, we are now up and running. Would like a refund on the service charge thank you seeing how know one helped me out except asking if I wanted to pay more for the answer. Have a great day

If you have room behind the broken lug you can usually drive it out with a good smack of a sledge hammer. To re-install, use a stack of washers between the nut and flange and draw the lug into position. (plenty of oil on threads to avoid galling)

Hi,
The lugs are generally pressed into the rotor. They have a fluted shank which prevents them from turning when you torque the lugnuts. If you are going to do this job yourself, they can be driven out with a punch. The new replacement can be drawn into position with the lugnut, but you might need to utilize some spacers and washers to do this.
I've performed this operation before with the rotor still on the vehicle.
I hope this helps... Good luck!
