Hi, whilst having my alloys refurbished. The guy sheared one of my rear near side studs. jaguars don’t sell them, only the full hub. been advised to go to beakers yard. 🙁 But I’ve found some new ones online. Wondered if anyone knows the exact size and type they should be? To be safe. And do they knock out and are replaceable with out removing the complete hub. Also been advised to use some copper slip on flat face of nut which might help in the future. Thank you in advance. David

This is a serious on going fault with the design of these nuts. I have all four tyres replaced. And was strongly advised to replace the nuts. As they are swelling???? 😳 I ordered a new set costing £50 for all 16 nuts. I wish I kept the old ones as the garage who fitted them, threw the old ones away. Recently had a full service and all good. just picked up car after having wheels refurbished. And a nut has sheared of a stud. so having to replace the nut and the stud. This is very concerning . Imagine being at the road side in an emergency attempting to change a tyre. When I have had to remove a wheel. I had to put a steel tube over the brace to crack the joint to free the nut. So what do we do guys? Is there a product, we can use to prevent this happening in the future?
