sosolid Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 where can i get a new stud? what size are the ones on a glanza ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 They are a splined press fit into the hub flange. If you're lucky you might find that the stud has pushed out the back of the flange and that's why it's spinning and not tightening. Look at the back of the hub (wheel on is fine, I assume you can't get the wheel off?), and see if you can see the "head" of the back of the stud. If it's poking out then use a punch/hammer to get it back in, then undo the nut, and replace the stud. If the stud has stripped the splines and is spinning inside the hub flange then it's more of a pain!!! You'll really need to replace the hub, and the main thing is probably to not damage the wheel. I'd be tempted to get someone to tack weld the back of the stud to the hub and take the nut off, rather than fking about drilling/grinding out the nut and damaging the wheel. Photos!
