One snapped off during removal. That leaves me with 3. and now that im putting the tire back on 2 wont spin all the way flush. Do i just grab the 4 way iron and force them on further stripping the screws or what. what is the part that i need replaced getting 4 new screws would be preffered. are these tapped in?

replace, or that tire will fuck up, uneven wear and stuff like that -
you need new wheel studs. sounds like you are using the wrong lug nuts or just cross threading them. later.Comment

for future notice. always thread by hand and then use cross bar or lug wrench to tighten with hands. i never use an impact gun. i've never heard of anyone having problems that way. i've heard of ALOT of problems with people using impact guns to tighten lugs and ripping off studs or cross threading. very costly in the end for such a simple mistake

you need the lug studs replaced. its pretty easy.. just knock the old ones out and put the new ones on. just thread the lug nuts on by hand till you can't no more and then torque them down to about 90 lbs if they are aftermarkets and a little more if stock.

Well, maybe morons with impact guns. Torquesticks are your friend. And if you do use an impact gun, with or without a torquestick, always start the lug nuts (well, any nut or bolt) by hand. I can thread bolts with an air tool all day, but you WILL end up crossthreading one.Comment

ah yes i believe i was cross threading. my fault for taking shortcuts. well lesson learned its just i feel silly. I turned a simple sway bar link installation into a more costly job. I have to slow down and start them up by hand. Then follow through with the iron. thanks guysComment
