lug nut studs need replaced 1999 Mustang GT
I recently talked to a mechanic about this issue. His answer made good since. I was talking with him about a rear but I'm assuming the technique would work on a front, and I have a front in the same shape as yours.
Once the broken stud is removed, place in the new stud. Then you need a spacer item and a lug nut. Place the spacer over the lug, then screw on the nut. Use an air wrench, and run it down until the lug is pulled thru to home. The spacer should be long enough to allow the lug to pull thru and not run out of threads. Once done, remove the nut and spacer, throw away the nut as it will no longer be usable, as it will stretch out and deform. With luck, you will not strip out the lug. He did not say where to have the hub, mounted or in a vise. I think I would have it out where I could check progress.
Good luck, Ron
