Had the worst week ever.
1st my car was buried in the snow Friday and it took me 3hrs to dig it out. My girlfriend tried to help me but as you can see in the pictures she couldn't really do much being barely 5 feet. Snow was up to her knees
2nd while digging my car out my drivers side fender liner gets torn off and my intake filter gets drenched and covered in snow. So come sat i decide to convert my intake to ram air just to be safe and while trying to tighten the lugs back on one of the studs broke off. My mechanic said he'll fix it for me for $30 which isn't so bad. Just sucks.
And i still can't get in touch with Josh at mandrelexhaustsystems.com. So now i'm not sure what i'm going to do for an exhaust system. There aren't any shops by me that make custom mandrel bent exhaust

well crap there Hercules...lol
its all good bro i had to change two of em on marcial's car, they are very very easy to change and 30bux to do it isnt bad at all. do it yourself and prolly pay 10 for a stud and a redbull...lol
all you need to do is take the wheel off, take the break caliper off, take the rotor off, grab a hammer and tap the stud out and you can normally reach a finger in and coax it out. they are very very easy to remove. just when you put the new one in make sure the splines line up. throw the rotor back on temporarily and a few washers on the new stud, tighten it down with a lugnut to draw the stud through. make sure its a lugnut you dont care about cause the edge of the lugnut can get damaged doing it this way.

i got mine at a local pep-boys...just walk up to the counter and tell em you need a wheel stud for a scion tc, they will go and get it for ya. see if you can find a nut that will fit it correctly and you can use that to draw the stud through.

just a tip, when i ask for parts at a local parts store i tell them its for an 05 cause when you tell em its for an 07-up they never have parts according to their system. Of course i make sure that the part or parts are interchangable between years.
