Wheel stud not up to it...

I was showing my better half how to change a tyre today, when a nut and stud came clean off, after a small tap to loosen it. Made me look strong in front of the wife, but can't say I am too happy, one week after getting a service at Waterloo Toyota...

What came off in my hands looked like the torque wrench had done its work a little too well,

Back to Waterloo to get this fixed this week.

Re: Wheel stud not up to it...

Same thing happened to me. The broken stud showed very obvious signs of being stretched (I still have it sitting on my desk). When I took it back to Toyota (who were the only ones who have removed a wheel from my vehicle) they were adamant they didn't use a rattle gun so it couldn't have been them. They then charged me fifty bucks to put a new one in. Grrr.

Hello all,

Picked up the car and the stud replaced, and all others checked. No cost to me, which is a relief.

Regards,

Ben

I had one also this week at the 10k service, replaced under warranty.
