no, no need to replace the axle or anything like that, just go down to napa or auto zone or some place like that and buy a couple lug bolts, cant be more than $2 each, and remove the hub. you can either try to line up the splines and seat the bolts correctly, and than try to hammer them in, or take the hub and bolts to a local machine shop,try to go at lunch time, tell some dude youll give him $10 if he will press fit them in for you. should only take like 10 minutes.

why are lugs snapping like twix bars on you?

i was talking about the lug bolts, a lug bolt is probably cheaper than a lug nut, both of which can be had at about any auto parts store.

i had a lug bolt snap on my civic a few years ago, went to napa, paid like 1.40 for it, and never got around to installing it. i know you said you only have 2 bolts holding your wheel on, but you can fix the problem in like 2 hours for less than 20 bucks, most likely, if you can remove the hub yourself

Dude, you're complaining about breaking 2 lug bolts? Give us a break and go to the store and do us a favor instead of telling us pointless crap like this.

You got me there.

No worries dominican. I've just been wading through all the crap at NICO and this happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back because it's a horse of a different color or some phrase like that. PEACE and good luck. My friend was rollin on 3 studs for a while. Pretty dangerous but nothing bad ever happened. Have fun in the focus. I hate being inside Fords in general. Interior is just heinous.
