88 GL Wagon - 4x4

 

Ha ha...uh...I just broke off a lug nut. Yes, brilliant and a first. I am just wondering if anyone knows if I shoud go buy a new hub, or if the bolts can be changed easily? (I have yet to go get a 36 mm socket/breaker bar so I don't know whats in there yet.)

 

Also, are there any compatibility rules when searching for a replacement-any particular years/models that will work?

 

I was investigating a sound...loosey-goosey wheel bearing at the back so I will be replacing that as well and from what I've read here, the wheel bearing can be done without a hub tamer or a press.

 

Hope you are all well.

Any local Napa will have a replacement stud.

 

Remove your wheel, take a large hammer and a large punch, and drive the stud out of the hub.

 

When installing the new one, you can put it through the hub, and use the lugnut itself to press the stud into the hub.

Thanks a bunch!!
