Corolla lug problems
Hey gang. I need some help here.
I broke off two lugs when rotating tires a couple days ago. (Ya I know one is bad, but I managed to break two). Anyway, I don't have a Chilton's manual or anything like that, so I decided I could just take the rotor off, and change out the lugs. (the autozone online manual said the lugs got pressed into the rotor) Well, I got the rotor off, and the lugs are not part of the rotor. The lugs look like they are attached to a hub. Here lies my problem. I cannot figure out how to get that hub off that the lugs are attached to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Tim

Re: Corolla lug problems
The lugs are removed by pressing them out from outboard to inboard with a special tool that looks like a gear puller. You don't need to remove the hub. The new ones are pulled through with a nut and some washers.

during a tire replacement a bad lug was discovered and I got them to install a new one and it was only $5 so its not expensive to get a tire place to do it for you if you still cant get it off.

I wonder if you could fasten the tire with the two remaining lugs and drive slowly to a garage or tire place to get them off.
I have a hell of a time up here in the northeast, with all the salt on the roads. I have to use a 3-foot section of pipe extended over a breaker bar to get the lugs of my vehicle, reguardles of how well i take care of the lugs
