Broken Lug Retraction uh-oh
 

I can't make this stuff up.

Have not driven the SRT for a few months for different reasons and decided to work on it today. Everything is going well but as I was doing a test drive I heard a clicking from the back like a nail in the tire. As I am taking the rear wheel off a lug snaps (appeared to be loose beforehand as if about to break). As I am beginning to extract the broken lug it actually pushes through the hole and appears to be behind the rotor somewhere. There is a plate or something back there too and I can't see a way to get in there to get the broken piece. I hope I explained it well enough. Any ideas? Do I have to remove the rotor? Thanks

I would think it is sitting in the parking brake area. If you remove the rotor it will probably just fall out.

Yes, rotor comes off.....sorry ,ask how I know. :rolleyes:

OK, I'll bite.

How do you know this? :rolleyes:

Re: Broken Lug Retraction uh-oh
 

That was it. Got the rotor off and it fell right out. All good. Just need to buy a new lug. Thanks.

Allen wrench...:)

OK, what was an Allen wrench doing inside the rotor ?

If you don't find any lugs, I probably have some somewhere...lol

Thanks for the offer on the lugs Doc. I have Forgestar wheels so I use different lugs. I contacted the vendor I bought the wheels from to get some more.
