So I was driving to dinner tonight with my gf and I hydroplaned, hit a curb, blew a tire and fuged up the left front fender. Then I tried to change my tire but two lugs broke off into the rotor. Now I need to drill them out and get new lugs but the only problem is I don't know what size they are. I called Autozone, Advanced Auto Parts and talked to my boss and none of them can find anything for thread size, depth etc.... Please for the love of god help me. I drive a 1999 Daewoo Lanos and would appreciate any help.

BTW, there is also a recall on file for the lug nuts on your car... (and a bunch of other stuff, too...

Recall Date:NOV 30, 1999

Model Affected:1999 DAEWOO LANOS

Summary:VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ALLOY WHEELS. THESE WHEELS WERE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT THE STEEL BUSHING INSERTS AROUND THE WHEEL BOLT OPENINGS, ALLOWING FRICTION BETWEEN THE WHEEL BOLT SEATS AND THE WHEEL BOLTS. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE BOLTS LOOSENING DURING HARD BRAKING.

Consequence:THE WHEEL COULD DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy:DEALERS WILL RETORQUE THE WHEEL BOLTS AND WILL UPDATE THE OWNER'S MANUAL WHEEL BOLT TORQUE SPECIFICATION.

Potential Units Affected:2811

Notes:DAEWOO MOTOR CO., LTD

When you take off tire, you might have to take of the break caliper and rotor, if you get a screw driver and a ball pean hammer, you can hammer out the studs.

After you get the studs out, you can just slide the new studs through the wheel hub, then attach a lug nut and tighten it to pull the stud through the hub, take off the lug nut, reassemble the caliper and then put put the wheel on and tightened the lug nuts. That should pull the new studs all the way into place.

Most parts stores should be able to type in your Year Make and Model and order you the studs and lug nuts that you need.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
