Can someone help.... I have just bought new minilite wheels ... Whilst changing the first one over from old standard ones ... SNAP .... One of the wheel bolts snapped not happy .... Can these easily be replaced ? Do I need to strip everything down ? Or do I need to take to garage ... Any info would be appreciated
This will be my first job in the morning
Thanks in advance

Which one is it? and are we talking front discs or rear drums ?they are pressed into the flange and splined not sure there is enough room to put a stud in without taking the flanges off.

I followed the link in from the right and see now its in the spi/mpi section so std is discs front and drums rear. do you have a replacement stud? if so knock it through and try one

Front disc ... I do not have a replacement for it as every where was closed when it happened ... I am hoping that I can just hammer it out ??? ... And hopefully can get one from halfords ? As they are the closest ... That's if it straight forward ... Just didn't want to start hitting it with a hammer and ******* it up

I'll be suprised if halfruads have them in stock, or any motor factors on the shelf.
order one from mini spares etc, best order 2 or 3 as back ups too eh

As said most likely need to get it from a proper mini suppliers or at least order in at a proper motorfactors... Also i would seriously consider swapping them all as if one stud has snapped the others wont be far be much different.
