Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Broken Stud

So what happens now, do I have to replace the rotor?

No, not the rotor, but the axle hub.

See? Different pieces...

That looks like a very clean break too.

Did you over tighten them?

Yah, I put a little too much on that little crow bar I guess.

Okay, I see what you mean. How much is an axle hub worth do you think?

The hub assembly is $95.00 but they list the actually bolts as a seperate item for $3.00 so you may be able to just get a new bolt.

Remove the Hub, press out the old one and press in the new one.

Wierd, I'll take a looksee & find out. $3 sounds reasonable!

this happened to TimO and my dads yota fixed it for him

good luck bro..

actuually i broke the stud b4 too, it was on the front drivers side, i just took out the oiece and out in a new stud, you have to play around wiht the dust shield i think good luck though, its relatively easy by the way

Yeah, it does look like it can be replaced, and good luck getting everything disassembled, cause suspension parts can be a pain in the ass to take apart.

Oh, and once you get it off, take one of the bolts out and take it down to your local hardware store to see if you can buy one there. Chances are you can.

Toyota has to order almost everything, and it could take a few days to get in.

You have to be careful when buying bolts, they have to be suitable for the purpose. The amount of tension & heat they have to take, I'd be hesitant to use something from a hardware store.

A truck driver known by a friend of mine bought his chains at Home Depot to tie down his load of steel coils instead of using the correctly rated safety chains. He was hauling close to his maximum load (120,000 lbs) and the chains snapped, luckily the roll went into the ditch & didn't flatten any cars. Same principal applies, you have to know the rating of the bolt & the rating required for the application.
