Dam It!

yo guys, i snapped one of the bolts that stick out of the hub, where the wheel nut goes onto.

Anyone done this before? is it part of the hub or can i get a replacement bolt?

Help quick please. and the discs they are not held on by hex keys i dont think. never seen em there. help help help

Don’t panic!! yes you can get new studs just remove the hub and the broken one will punch out and the new one will push back in from the inside it happens a lot. You should be able to get a new one from your local motor shop or if not go to your local dealer.

Never done it on a Yaris (yet ) but have done it on a few other cars (being a tyre fitter, it's a hazzard of the job.. especially on cars that have never seen copperslip or the inside of a service station).. In most cases you can just replace the stud... use a hammer anf large punch and knock it through (hopefully you won't need to remove the hub... in some cars you do :() put a new one in and tighten up the nut, this will draw it into the spline on the hub and secure it.

cheers you two a massive one,how do i take the disc off though on the yaris>?

I did this, just undo the two bolts holding the caliper at the back, hammer it through and replace

was 4 quid for a new stud

u cant remove the disc with the caliper on so you need to undo the 2 outer bolts cmpletely remove 1 loosen the other and swing it up or down and pull off disc

thanks for all the help guys, fixed it without removeing disc. got the bolt took caliper off and slipped it in past the guad. bent it a bit though but not bothered.
