Ahhh this sucks so bad, I have broken a wheel-stud off the front hub of my Z250 mounting my new tires. What can I do about it? Do they have to be pressed out or what has anyone ever broken one before?

 

Heres a pic of the bike with the wheels and tires, and help me with that damn stud its freaking me out

Bring it to a auto store. I never heard of anyone breaking a ATV stud...... Good job Hercules.

 

Well thats what I get for wanting it tight, Man I'm a retard I doubted it would break, You think its safe to ride on 3 for a while as long as I dont jump? there is still a little hanging out its flush with the rim.

 

In the front yes. If that was the rear I wouldn't.

 

Btw the razrs hook up like hell.
I'm gonna get that stud out and go to autozone or something and match it with another.

 

i broke the ones on my rear tires.. all of them.. LOOOOONNNNG story, dont ask.. but, i was able to get new ones at my local NAPA store.. I think 12mm x 1.25 if im not mistaken, a buck or two a piece, and i bought lug nuts that had a closed end, kinda just like car ones.. looks way pimper..lol..
Good Luck!
Oh, and they just pound out with a hammer.. then slide the new ones in and tighten a nut on them until they pull in all the way.. they are splined, so once they are in there a little, they wont spin.. i think i started mine in with a hammer, and tightened them BY HAND the rest of the way...lol.. try not to break the new ones...lol

 

Thanks I'm gonna get some work done on it tomorrow. Btw how did you manage to break all of them? Jumping or something?

 

Yea they shold come out if you hit um with a hammer. If that dosent work press um.

 

Someone gave me a neat idea to get them out, Pretty much just take the hub off, put it in a table vice and on the back side put a socket over the stud...crank the vice and the stud will slip into the socket and pop out, I'm gonna use that method I would hate to mess up the hub. Btw anyone know if lonestar hubs for a Z400 will fit a Z250? The bolt patterns are the same I dont know about the brakes and chit.

 

I know my 250ex uses the same brakes as a 400ex, but I dont know about suzuki though they might have changed one thing so u cant use um. But definetly check that out though.

 

Ok guys, I got the stud out today...now I have to get a new one. I went to my dealer and he searched for about 15 minutes, they dont make a wheel-stud for it. Anyone got any ideas on where to find one? napa maybe?

 

well i would go to napa i ran with 2 nuts on the rear and my wheel never fell off

 

I just dont want to bend the rim jumping, or tear up the hub. Could I just run a bolt through there with a nut or would that waller out the hole in the rim? I could care less about the hub I'm replacing the entire thing soon.

 

U can run a bolt through it... thats how some of the spacers work... but if you go to napa, they will prolly have it right in stock.. i believe it is 12mm x 1.25 if im not mistaken... but have them find u there book of wheel studs, it has pics in it, and match it up and see if they got it.. it is a stocking part, but maybee theyll have to order it from the w.h. or another store...and your right, suzuki does not sell the lug studs seperatly.. they wanna sell you a whole hub... *rolleyes* another way to make an extra buck or two..lol.. Good Luck, and if u need any help tracking down the studs, let me know.. ill see if i can locate a pn# 4 ya...

 

Thanks for the help, I'll go to napa tomorrow hopefully I'll get lucky and be able to ride by saturday.

 

what do u need front tires for they should always be in the air

 

Ran a bolt through that sumbich, and a couple of washers....good as new. Razrs will throw dirt like 40 feet, Friends wont ride behind me anymore.
