Default 3 lug studs gone.- Twin Cities

While moving back to the Twin Cities form Kansas City I was 7 miles out from my house I heard a loud snap. After pulling over I found out that my wheel was now being held on by just two studs. I got the car towed and now in the progress of replacing them. If any one in town would be up for helping me it would be more than appreciated. I hope to see you all at the next meet.

For those wondering where I'm located I live right next to the TCF stadium at the University of Minnesota.
Best way to Contact me is 913-568-8363

Ouch, are you pulling the hub to replace them? You'll need a new wheels bearing to. It's possible to do them without removing the hub, but I wouldn't recommend it. (Ask me how I know)

thats too bad. not a good weekend for me to help out. You probably cant move the car right now, but if you can, and have the parts, I suggest you take it over to FirstGear Garage in Eden Prairie. you can do all the work there and they have the lift and tools you will need. they are also very helpful. Hope you get it worked out.. Keep us posted.

Completely agree with above. First Gear Garage is the first choice to go to get it that work done. In fact, I was just there today to get some work done. Check them out, all the tools & equip necessary for you to complete the work necessary.
