Broken wheel stud

[dr. d]

The best way to know for sure is to call up a Honda dealership and get a hold of the parts sales people.

Ask for the price of a rear hub bearing unit, and inquire if the lug bolts can be bought separately for it.

knowing the casa, they'll probably say, change the entire assembly!

but yes, bring the car to a fixit shop. they'll remove the plate and have the nearby machine shop punch it out. be sure you have a replacement stud on hand, though. the auto parts shops should have these on hand.

welding? on a part that is subjected to high torque? never! it won't last the first wheel installation.
tekateka... baka naman, ang ibig sabihin ng welding, ay iinitin para mas madaling i-punch out ang stud..

Paano naman ang DIY kapag loose thread wheel stud? Ayaw na mag lock yung lug nut sa isang wheel stud (corolla gli '97). Sigurado ako hindi sa lug nut (bagong bili - brand new), kasi sinubok ko yung lug nut sa ibang wheel stud, nag lock naman, tapos yung nakalagay dun nilipat ko sa loose thread na wheel stud, ayaw talaga mag lock. ano remedyo dito? thanks!

Basically you will have to replace the stud bolt. The reason why the lug nut is not tightening is probably you have stripped the threads from it from over-tightening. If you want to do it yourself, you will have to strip the rear wheel assembly to be able to remove the damaged stud-bolt.
