My job got their moneys worth out of me today.

A shop quoted $500 for this job. “We can’t replace the studs only the whole hub.” It took me about an hour and $50 in parts and tools to replace two cross threaded lug studs that sheared off. These lug nuts were cross threaded on by the dealership who installed the new tires.
