Broken wheel stud and lug nut.

EYE ESS · 03-13-2012, 12:25 PM

The dealer decided to screw me over and said they wouldn't fix it for free. I called my friend who works for another Car dealer and he is going to remove the broken lock for me. I'll pay him in booze.

The next question is, since I refuse to get any wheel locks again, can you point me to the exact lug nut? I am going to order 4 to replace the locks. I want to make sure it matches the other lugs since I have the forged wheels from the sport package.

You can pick them up at any Nissan or Infiniti dealer. Part #40224-JK00A

There is also an OEM replacement part by Dorman that is cheaper and looks identical in my opinion.

I recently purchased 2010 Touring/Sport Z and took it to a local shop and had them install wheel spacers, 20s and 15s.

When I picked up my car they were unable to tighten the two rear wheel locks. They were just spinning and wouldn't go on or off. They said the fronts were fine. He said to come back the next day, but I went to Nissan instead and they told me all four studs with wheel locks were spinning. They were the wrong wheel locks of course.

My question, is this the installers fault, did they over-torque the wheel locks? Why did only these four studs wind up spinning if they were not over-tourqued?

My dealer tracked the record of the car and found the original selling dealer installed the wrong locks so I should get it warrantied. They will speak with the Nissan service rep this week.

The dealer says they will drill the studs out from the back. Is this the best way to get them out?
