    Hey Guys,

    One of our focus vans has had one of the front wheel bolts broken during a tyre removal. The original nut had seized. Where can I get these replaced in Dublin? Has anyone else had this happen before? I think that there was something about the nuts rusting on the ford.

    Thanks for any assistance.

    did the same to my car not too long ago. I hurt my back and taking the wheel out of the wheelwell was a killer. I stamped on the wheel brace and sheered it right off. Too it to the local mechanic - he drilled it out and popped in a new bolt. Was on my way again fairly fast

    That happened all four of my wheel studs earlier in the week. Went to local motor factors to see if I can get some, they said you have to go to main dealer. So I did and got four wheel studs and four lug nuts to go with. Changed them myself. €50 it cost for four wheel studs and four lug nuts. Saved the cost of labour doing it myself.
