Wheel stud's on an LS1 - please help.
I was changing my wheels and I broke 1 of the drivers side front wheel studs. I was able to knock it lose, and put another one in there.
My question is:
Do you have to drop the break assembly to properly put the stud back in?
Also, if I bought snowflake wheels that came off a 2000-2002 Z28, will they fit with no rubbing on a 1999 z28?
Please help, this has been a real pain in the butt. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, I couldn't get enough leverage/space to knock the other stud back in. I could get it pretty close, but it wasn't all the way in. You would have to drop the brake assembly off of it, right?

I did NOT have to remove my caliper to replace a front wheel stud.
Just push the stud in as far as you can, perhaps whack it from the rear a few times with a rubber mallet (or lightly with a hammer). When there is enough thread showing, pull it through with the lug nut without the rim on there.
Then you should be good to go.
