: Rear Lug replacement

Stupid tire place snapped one of my rear lugs on a 2001 3500 dually.

The rear is disk so it looks like I have to get the rotor off.

I'm wondering how difficult it is.

Isn't the tire place replacing it?

They claim it was already cross threaded.

I can't prove it but are they supposed to.

Plus if they can't even take off a lug should I trust them with replacing a lug.

Over the years, several tire shops have snapped off wheel lugs with their air guns. None have ever charged to replace a broken lug.

I called them today. They said they would work with me, so I should be good.

Seems like they should do it.

I'm going to loosen all my lugs and put antisieze on them and them torque them.
