wheel hub

[primespark22]

well my mechanic was doing a check up on my car, he took of the wheels and put them back on he told me wat the problem was so i got my car and headed home. when i get home i jack the car up and take the front right tire off then i go to the driver side and the lug nutz were tight like a mofo!!. So i put pressure and the hole thing breaks off nut and screw so go to the next one to see if it the same problem and it also broke off,so i want to know if can i replace the screws or i got to get a new hub? and if i do were can i get one cheap?!!!

It's always a good idea to use Anti-seize on the lug nut threads. This will help it from rusting and from getting stuck.

No. Do not put anti-seize on your lugs. You'll get a false tq rating when tightening down the lugs. Hondas require 80 ft lbs.

I have always use Anti-sieze on all of my cars so the threads do not dry out. Please remember that if your tighten a dry thread it will give you a false reading as well.
My recommendation is to use a little bit to keep the threads from getting stuck.
Just my $0.02.

Hey it sounds like the lug nuts got cross threaded when they put them back on. you can change the stud and buy new lug nuts its pretty cheap and its not that hard to change i work at advance auto and i know for a fact we have them and keep them in stock. If you have anymore ? dont hesitate to ask me. G/L with it and hope you get it fixed soon

Yeah I use alittle bit of bearing grease on ours it doesnt hurt anything...BTW to the answer to your question Yes you can replace the studs but you will have to take it to a shop an press the hub off an new one on...When doing it make sure you replace all 4 on that side good luck...Oh most shops charge 100 bucks to do this

[khaxnguyen]

you broke your studs because you didnt let the lug studs cool down after driving it. common mistake

[primespark22]

never put anything on your wheel studs. if that was so it would be recomended from the factory. what happened is more than likely they didnt start the nuts by hand first and just hit them and crossed them all the way up. i would personally took it back to them and said fix your f@@k up! but thats just me.
