Made a booboo putting wheels back on
I was putting on new brake pads today and after I was done I put the wheels back on, I came to 1 lugnut that I "thought" was on the thread of the bolt correctly but wasnt, so I impacted it down and stripped the HELL out of that little bolt. Now im running on 4 lugs.
What part number is this thing I need to replace and can the dealer warranty it or do I just buy this **** off of a website and throw it on myself?
Thanks

I would replace both. The is no sense in replacing the stud and use a nut that only costs a few bucks and take the chance of having problems. Please replace both!

i bought 4 wheel studs from the dealer for 7 a piece when big-o over torqued them, and they had them in stock, so check the dealer first, it was also a very easy procedure just used a large brass mallet knocked them out then aligned the new ones up cause their star grooved, and just used open ended nuts and a impact to press them in

go to autozone, say you need a new stud. they charged me about a dollar. forget the dealer, they replace them with the stock studs which are not as sturdy as the replacements.
You guys with 5 lugs have an easy fix, you can just knock it out the old fashioned way. us guys with the 4 lug cant do that. there isnt enough clearance.
