Snapped 5 out of the 6 wheel studs off my front wheel yesterday, where is the best place to buy new ones and is it possible to get higher grade tensile ones as im running 35" mud tyres.
Preferably somewhere on or near the central coast.

Buy them from Toyota and do them up to the correct torque setting, not TAF.

as you know toyota ones are know to break, especially when running bigger tyres. could get high tensile ones i guess
just replace them with high tensile bolts with hex heads, still keep the cone washers and washer though. should do the trick, thats what i did on my 80

are you braking wheel studs or axel studs big difference
wheel studs you remove hub and knock out studs knock in new easy.
but if you broke 5 hub is prob damaged studs holes loose.
new hub, good idear as it has studs
axle studs tap out 8mm to ten to suit 100 series studs all fixed
p.s if you did brake wheel studs did them up to tight

was the wheel studs, yeah did em up too tight, stupid rattle gun. got new ones off toyota today, 4.50 each, nuts extra. they look pretty weak surely someone would have come up with higher tensile ones.
