I need a stud....

[Tactically Fat]

A wheel stud, specifically.

The geniuses at the Car-X in Greenwood (by Menards) apparently cross-threaded a wheel nut when they rotated my tires last.

Fast forward to the other day when I discovered a screw in a tire that needed patched. Costco found the x-thread and warned me it'd probably break. It did.

So, now I'm at 5/6ths strength on that wheel.

Passenger rear of an '09 Kia Sedona LX.

Any of you Greenwood-area wrench-turners do this kind thing? And could teach me?

May be worth just having a wheel/tire place do it?

Pretty easy. Get the replacement stud, knock out the broken one, and insert the new one. Place a spacer over the stud and use the lug nut to pull it into the seated position.

NAPA, O'Reiley's any auto store should have them in stock.

I know that finding a replacement at a parts store will be easy...

But the knowledge and tools and available space to accomplish the task are a whole other ballgame.

I'm seriously not mechanically inclined when it comes to cars.

A video (on a truck) to give you an idea.
There may be a video specific to your vehicle.

In my younger days I drove on 3 of 5 lug nut on Ford Ranger. It was that way for a minimum of 50,000 miles, not that I'd recommend do it LOL. It was because of the same issue, asshats putting the lug nuts on nascar style.

Not difficult. Just remove the tire and brake rotor. Then drive out the old stud through the back and replace.
If your near Indy northside, bring it over and we can put it on my lift to replace it, less than 15 minute job.
As you can see I've done a few brake jobs:
