ILl have pictures up but one problem.

I was tightening the bolt on my wheel and one of the four happend to crack... The thread is on all the way but the key that fits into the lug spins free because the bolt is cracked??

I got extra ones now any clue what to do with that??? I thought i would take the other 3 off when i look to change my brakes later on and try to twist and turn and bend hopefully the rest of it cracks and it comes off but im not shore what to do..

What exactly did you crack? Sounds like you stripped either the hub or the lug.

The lug nut.. the "Bolt".. Cracked from the side.

Also i noticed the rotational patterns for the front left and the back right are reveruse the arrows pointing backwards and for the front right and back left the rotational arrows are correct.

There were lines on the tires the ones closest to the face of the rim for both tires went on the front and the ones closeest to the inside went on the back i paired them up is that okay?

okay, just to point something out to make this thread a littler clearer...


Bolt is on the left, which in your case would be the stud on the hub
The nut is on the right, which would be your "lug nut"

So please use the correct names and call it a lug nut and not a bolt, and vise-versa

That being said... what did you crack exactly?

So you cracked one of these and now can't get it off?



If you got a grinder or cutting tool, just cut right into the side of it and trash it. Otherwise I would try jamming a flathead screwdriver into the crack and try to split it all the way through. You're going to have to get the nut off without wrecking your hub somehow.

Thanks for the help :> Illl try that

I think from the looks of it i could go 205 or 215 40 intsead of 35/18 on the tires. I guess ill look into that after a few summers
