Just left the tire place - they got two new tires on the front no problem (orig 5 lug wheel) but the rear studs were not loosening. I just bought this camper a few weeks ago and 1 rear stud was broken already (upgraded 6 lug axle). The mechanic broke another stud today trying to loosen the wheels (he was aware of the reverse threads) and stopped after that so as not to strand us at the shop. Manager called everywhere but no one has replacement studs or really knows how to order them. Does anyone know what part number this is? Toyota OEM only or can I buy aftermarket? Shop also mentioned that the hub would need to be disassembled in order to replace broken studs: 1.5hrs/side. Does that sound right? And finally I suspect the best way forward would be to replace all 12 studs with new ones: agreed? I certainly don't want to deal with studs shearing at highway speeds! I got a fantastic deal on the tires: $370 for 6 new Goforms including balancing&mounting - of course I'm only 2 into it right now. It's unfortunate that this problem arose. Thanks.
