My ZRE152 has rear disc brakes, went to replace rear brake pads (a max 45-minute job).
“While taking off the rear wheel lug nuts one got really tight & then the stud started to spin in the Hub.
I have 2015 5 Stud Factory Alloy Wheels on my 2009 ZRE152 & the Standard Alloy Wheel Lug Nuts, so no access to side of the wheel lug nuts.
Had to drill out the stud & the centre of the Standard Alloy Wheel Lug Nut to get the wheel off then replace the Wheel Stud. On inspecting the other Wheel Studs, one other also had damaged threads, so replaced that as well. Outcome two (2) new Wheel Studs installed & a replacement Standard Alloy Wheel Lug Nut from my spares kit.
On inspection I could see “Bruising of the Alloy Rims” under the Standard Alloy Wheel Nuts Washers & think the Wheel Nuts have been overtorqued. For Rego Inspection June 2020 I went to a “Tyre Fitment Place” (have not been there before) they took the wheels off & inspected the brake pads & CV joints & control arm bushes etc
=>> I watched the Inspection & recall that they used a Cordless Battery Impact Wrench to do up the Wheel Lug Nuts, I am concerned that their Torque Setting was incorrect & that I may well have “other future Wheel Stud Failures”, I really don’t want to have to replace Wheel Studs on the side of the road or be stranded with a flat tyre.
I also had a look at the internal thread of the standard alloy wheel nuts & was surprised to see some rust on the internal threads.
I have not had this problem with Japanese Built Corolla’s previously.
2&1/2Hrs later all done.
=>> Have others with Japan Built ZRE152s with Rear Disc Brakes had the Wheel Lug Nuts bind up on the Wheel Studs then have the Knurled Captive Stud spin in the Hub?

It looks like others have had Wheel Studs snap off previously.

Broke a wheel stud
Pretty much what happened
“While taking off one of the lug nuts it got tight and broke off. I don't believe it was cross threaded”

I'm super strong!!!
Look at what I did all by myself! This happened a few weeks ago, but I was too lazy to upload the pictures I got my corolla on December 31, 2009, new years eve... This winter there wasn't a lot of snow (in Toronto).. so I waited to put my winter tires on... a week after I had my car, my dad...

Front & Rear Wheel Studs Snapped off
Rear wheel stud broken
I broke one of my rear studs off today when I was putting my wheel back on. The rest seem okay, but I'm wondering how difficult it is to replace them? Is it as simple as hammering the broken one out and replacing it with a new one? I don't have to take the drum off, right?

Does anyone know if there's a slot in the back plate to remove the stud.

Replacing damaged wheel studs
broke a wheel stud
I took off my R/F wheel this weekend to look for a leak. While taking off one of the lug nuts it got tight and broke off. I don't believe it was cross threaded since I did a rotate about 3 months ago. Has this happened to anyone else? If so how do I go about replacing this lug? Also how safe is...
