Default Help Taking Wheel Off.

well I just bought some new rotors and brakes, nothing special. Im going to change them myself with a help of my buddies who are knowledgeable about these things. the only problem is that one of my lug knots of my back left wheel seems stripped. I was wondering if someone can tell me what to do and how to replace the stud?

U can remove it with a ratchet, u dont need an air gun. And then u can unbolt the hub and take it to a shop to install the new stud.

Is the thread stripped or is the hex pattern rounded off? You should be able to get a Standard size socket that is just smaller than the 19 and hammer it on the nut. Then u can easily take it off....
