Here it is! The first mess! — Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 2008

I was lucky on this cancerous day to break through the right wheel! also in two places ... thanks to the neck of the bottle ... and, as luck would have it, after two hours of riding, I caught him under the entrance when I parked the car ... and I almost drove later with this misfortune ... thanks attentively to a passer-by, and a slap on the back of my head for sloppiness ...

and everything seems to be nothing ... well, who doesn’t happen to? if not for one BUT! broken hairpin ... I don’t know how it was possible to break the hairpin with a key, but the fact is the fact ...

result: damaged nerves, dirty hands, and the first visit to the service station ... they removed the hub, changed the stud, now everything is in order ... but how can I break the stud, I'm still at a loss ... it seems like a trifle, but not nice.

Estimate! I looked in a panic at a piece of hairpin sticking out of the key ...

the reason for this joy was a banal thing. the car is on titans, and the spare wheel is on factory stamping. on titans, an adapter is put on the hub like a plastic one. but it is not needed on stamping. began to twist with bolts. Here's your carelessness.

Well, I was able to tighten it, but I couldn’t unscrew it. I called Father, he created a lever with rich experience and, in general, kissed well. I unscrewed both the nut and the stud in half)

I myself also changed summer for winter, (winter stamping). Ran it myself in the garage. When replacing the first wheel, I noticed that it did not completely sit on the hub: squeezed, squeezed, do not sit down, unscrewed saw the sleeve (with bulging eyes) :-).

It was necessary to unscrew evenly, you had a skew and all the pressure on one pin went off.
