Nice! Could you please post their info under the "Unofficial Bay Area Automotive Shop Directory" thread as well?

 

Any update on your hub bolt installation neur0sis?

One of my rear bolts was stripped and held on to one of lug nuts.

I tried to ring it free with a breaker bar, ended up snapping off a half inch chunk of the hub bolt. Now I need to replace it but have no idea how to remove the broken one.
The wheel lock currently sits on that one until I find a solution.

 

I never ended up having to change out my hub bolts, but from what I read, it wouldn't be that hard. It was recommended to have a brass ended hammer, and just give it a solid "whack" straight on. It should pop out the back side.

You could also take it to a local tire shop, and have them pop it off for real cheap. Maybe $10/$20 including the new stud.

Good Luck!

 

I have broken a number of studs so I have changed them all out. I knocked them out with a short handeled 6 lb sledge after removal of the caliper. You can feed the new stud in around the parking brake in the rear at the top. I did this a year ago and 6 track days. I have had no problem. It just was not the much force to knock out. You can sinch them up with and impact wrench and a specer ( larger bolt).

It might not be the most conservative way but seems to have worked for me.

It is a lot cheaper than the alternative.

 

neur0sis and C Ray Z :

Thanks for your help guys.
It's a little comforting to know I can take it off easily, or have my cousin (mechanic) pop it out with the proper tools.

You guys should have seen the look on my face when I broke it!
The bright side is, I didn't touch the face of the Volks.
Heart was racing a bit when I did the search, almost came up with nothing.

Thanks again.

 

I need to replace one of my front left lug bolts that I stripped. The place I bought my wheels from sent me the wrong size lug nuts and are sending me new ones. Are the lug bolts generally stocked/available at local parts stores or is the 350Z too new?

 

I ordered mines through Performance Nissan and they sent them in less than a couple days.

Cost about a buck fifty each.
