Broken wheel hub bolt

    Hi,

    I managed to break a wheel hub bolt when tightening a lug nut while changing a wheel. -Gen 7 Celica, 2004, 140bhp. Front wheel.
    Snapped right off...
    So, is it possible to just replace the bolt or do I need to anything with the wheel hub? Is this a big job?

    I think it just pops out like this, might need a tap of a hammer...

    I had a partially threaded one on my Avensis.
    Give it one good bang with a heavy hammer, it should pop straight out and the new one can be tapped into place and tightened with the wheel in place.
    They have shallow splines to stop them spinning once they are in place.
