Pick up a sacrificial open ended nut and some washers to use for pulling the new stud into place.

I wouldn't dare Auto-X at all, AK...that could be a lot of lateral force put on the wheels, and you may strip out the threads on the other studs. Just take it in and get the stud fixed ASAP. It'll be ok on regular driving for a while Im sure.

Honestly, even I didn't know how it happen. I think I blame the socket. I think I tried 13/16 but it didn't fit. Then went with 7/8 (can't recall correctly). I'll pick up a 21 mm. thanks
Anyway, the dealer did not have the lug in stock. So, maybe Tuesday or Thursday I have to get it fixed. Dealer wants at least $140 labor + lugs

Swapped mine out today. Waxed the wheels and the brake calipers. The car still looks like I've been driving through a barnyard, but the wheels and brakes look great! 
I'm almost afraid to wash it because I think I have the most incontinent birds on the planet nesting near the Z. How do such small creatures crap so much? |
Awesome.
