Mind you I've driven the car for over a year like this with no problems. BUTTTTT...my front end isn't the best, I'm slowly but surely planning on replacing everything down there.

You mean you have wheel lugs missing?
Why???
Go to your auto parts store and get some! (about 3 or 4 bux each - take 5 mins to replace.
Edit: Do what Jamie said - i forgot about the washers to ease new one in! lolol.
Ya still gotta hammer old ones out though - i was almost there!

Yeah the previous owner must've lost his luglock key because they cut the bolts off, taking half of the stud with it I guess.

dont listen to martin lol you cant hammer the new one in lol, you put the new one in from the back of the hub and place a few washers over the stud, then put a lug nut on it and tighten it up to pull the new stud into the splined hole in the hub. you can hammer the old one out though! SILLY BRIT!
i wouldnt be so worried though about 1 stud broken on each wheel, if there was 2 broken on each wheel i'd worry a little.

Hahaha... You are right... i totally forgot! (i replaced 3 of mine, but was over a year ago!) Lolol.
Easy anyway!

I used washers to pull stud through hub with wheel off, then put wheel back on etc.
Now i will sleep tonite! :-)

I wonder why they would've cut them off to remove the locks? It's much easier to weld nuts on them to unscrew a lock then it is to cut them off.
