Ok, i just got some new wheels and i was trying to take the old wheels off and my studs broke....i went bought some studs trying to install them i can get the brake drum off and hub off to change the studs...my dad has done this many of times on older cars....but for some reason we can't get these to budge is there sumthin special we need to do?

I dunno if its just rusted or what?

but i only have 2 studs and i can't very well drive it to a garage to get them to do it.....so what would you all suggest here are some pics..

Can't see the pics (remote linking forbidden)

Smack the drums with a rubber mallet to loosen it up... shouldn't take more than that.

Now go out and buy a torque wrench and some wheel hub adapters so this doesn't happen again!

Torque stock lug nuts to 100 ft-lbs and tuner lugs to 90 ft-lbs.
