The studs should just be pressed in...I'd probably get a secondhand disc from a wrecker, that way you'll get studs, assuming it is a disc with the hub cast in. Just tap the studs out with a hammer. To put them in, tap them in, and pull them all the way in with the wheelnuts.

If you get a new disc, I would replace ALL the studs..whatever force broke one stud will for sure have damaged the others.

Regards, Andrew.

im going for option one seeing as its cheaper, and i have very limited cash..

but i only got the disc.. and well.. im getting the mechanic to put in the stud, seeing as i need the timing belt done, the car has done 127k kms

so yeah needs doing, and also.. the air con will be done, so it made sense to just get them to put it all back together...

thanx for your help tho :rolleyes:

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
