Wheel bolts 740 Volvo Estate

The studs are usually a push fit from behind the hub. However you may need a stud press to get the old ones out and press the new ones in. Or change the hub complete with all five studs (new or secondhand).

Cheers, Peter.

Usually it's the nuts that get their threads ruined, as they're made from softer metal (brain was used in that decision). Try a new nut, they're about $1-2 each.

How can I get a new nut on a damaged thread, who is doing the thinking here.

Best to change the hubs complete with wheel studs.

Cheers, Peter.
