The bearing is cheap, and TIMKEN makes a great product. Don't overtorque your lug nuts in the future and you won't have to deal with this again. Like someone else mentioned, just do all 5 studs at once since they're cheap. Discount Tire should be able to do it, but I'd go to a recommended independent shop in your area.

If you want to pull the knuckle yourself, that'll save you some money. Also, ordering the parts yourself will save you a bit. I can get you a wheel bearing and studs if you want to go that route. PM me if you need anymore help.

Everyone should invest in a torque wrench. Isn't there another guy that broke some studs too.

I found that frequently taking off the wheels, especially when they are hot, will wear out the studs.

Go ahead and replace the bearing. Dont be like me and cheap out by not replacing it to only have to replace it anyway and possibly the hub as well like I had to do. Save yourself the headache and possibly more money down the road. The bearing is cheap compared to a bearing and hub.

That wont work on an S2000. The knuckle needs to be removed, and the hub and bearing pressed out. Trust me.


On some cars, slight grinding/notching can be done to sneak the stud out. Not this car.

This happened to me a couple weeks ago too. Broke 2 of my studs. I got it fixed at my friend's shop for $100 for labor and parts included. Good luck!
