Yesterday I went tyre shop to get new alloys and tyre set to my alto. However one nut of front wheel refused to loosen and wheel stud broken when tries to loose nut using a long wench.

After that ,installed new wheels and drived to a garage with only 3 wheel nuts to install new stud and when removing wheel, another nut also stucked and stud broken when removing wheel. Installed two studs and now everything is fine.

I'm wondering what caused to wheel nut to stuck and how to prevent it happening again.

'Miyuru Daminda',

Normally this happens when you over tighten the stud nut by using long box spanner handles.

Other than the handle provided by the car manufactures.

They develop small crack when you loosen same they will try to crack.

Some tire changing mechanics before loosening the nut they tighten and loose the nut. This too causes for the crack.
