I took my car in to get the tires replaced about 7 months ago and I think the installer forced the lug nuts on somehow because now they are stripped. I was able to take the wheel off just fine before taking the car in. However, recently I tried to take my wheel off and I cannot because the screw thing that the lug nut screws onto is stripped. Not only can I not take the wheel off, but I cannot tighten the lug in completely so I am basically driving on 3 nuts.
Im going to take my car back to them on monday to see if they will fix it for free. But just incase they dont, what would be a reasonable price to get this taken care of? The screw itself is stripped, so I am worried they have to replace the whole hub or something. How do they even fix things like this?
Even if I do somehow manage to get the nut off, I dont think I will be able to screw it back on because of the strippage.
