What's a good place to get a Front wheel stud replaced?

Hey so tonight as i took off my front passenger side wheel one of the studs snapped in half.

i don't have too many tools and would like to get this fixed as soon as possible.

I'm from Hayward, so you guys have any suggestions on where to go? I hear the front takes like 15-20 minutes to replace but i don't want to get shafted by a place that charges automatic min. 1 hour labor.

thanks in advance!

GST Motorsports is probably one of the closest place to you. There's also GB Motorsports. I don't really know the pricing policy. You'll have to call and ask.

it shouldn't take more than 15 mins to change it out. just call around and see who's local that has the stud in stock. if you have an impact gun its really easy to do yourself. all you have to so is hammer our the old stud and feed the new one in from the back and use the impact gun with the nut to pull it out.

you can change it yourself in 10 minutes and all you need is a hammer and whatever wrench you use to take off your lugz
