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.

      Give Legette another season?

      The coaches can't figure out what to do with BY9 much less Leggette

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
