Rear end wheel lug bolt broken?
Noticed today that one of the bolts that the rim goes onto is broken, one of the 5 that gets lugnuts bolted down to them, is that bolt replaceable by itself or do I have to shell out for a whole new rear end, just the brake setup or what? Idk without taking it off, which isn't an option atm...

Re: Rear end wheel lug bolt broken?
Not a big deal. You have to remove the brake drum/rotor to expose the hub. The wheel studs are pressed into the hub. Just use a hammer and punch to drive out the broken stud. You can then use lug nuts with washers under them to 'press' the new stud in.

Ok, good to know, was concerned I might have to shell out big money to replace the whole hub or something, and I'm already $600 deep into the engine =/
Thanks for the help.
