Jay M1988 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Well I have just got my car back from the bodyshop and it seems they've wayyyyy over tightened the wheel nuts to the point I couldn't get them off at all. Anyway I tried using a pry bar just to get more leverage and on my last wheel nut on the whole car it snapped and right at the head too so no place to grab a hold of at all. My question to you all is wtf do I do? Can I have the stud drilled out? Can the stud be replaced and is it a big job for a garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NissanGB Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi Jay M1988, did you have the work carried out at a Nissan dealership? It may be worth visiting them to see if they are able to help, you can find more information by following this link and refining for 'NISMO dealer' https://www.nissan.co.uk/dealer-locator.html . We hope that helps ^Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Oh man, you should've just taken it back and made it their problem to sort. Name and shame at least! But no, it's not a huge job by any means. Just find a decent garage to do it, and I don't mean just Nissan main dealers unless you supply your own lube. Any competent place will be able to sort this for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay M1988 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Slight update guys, I managed to drill the stud out myself and have just received a replacement stud from Torqen, all going well Ill have the new stud on tonight. Ive seen guides on youtube for replacing the stud on the 350, doesn't look too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
