my friend just bought a 2001 gt. well this weekend we where putting new
brakes and rotors on the front, and discovered a broke off lug stud
bolt. has anyone replaced one of these or know how its done? looks like
the treads were crossed and it snapped off. not enough stud to hold on a
lug nut. thanks for any help. mp

Front or rear?

Essentially, you need to remove the part that the stud
goes through. Take it to a machine shop and have them
press out the old one and press in a new one.

I'v tried doing it with a large C clamp, but that
didn't work for me. Don't use a hammer.
