Folks,

Thank all so kindly for the thoughtful replies.

I have no garage and no power to bring to the wee 1990 240 DL wagon beastie (M47 II manual transmission).

No, the thread is not crossed or stripped.

I'm going to go visit an import auto repair shop (just like the kind I used to work at in St. Louis, MO and San Rafael, CA; nah, I'm not SAE or otherwise certified).

So, only a few more dollars.

A cautionary tale re-run with tire stores and impact wrenches on the Volvo 240 (or any RWD Volvo) wheel lug nuts.

I'd replaced studs front and rear just as you folks described, yet due to stripped thread; nothing like this.

I'm simply worried if I remove the wheel-tire assembly, the right rear brake caliper, and the rotor, and get into it, I may be surely futzed in some parking lot, without power, the knurled section on the hub is stripped.

Uncle Onkel Udo II, indeed, the studs may be more ductile than the axle hub they anchor to, but I'm worried, like I said, taking it apart, with Napa studs at the ready, I'd be futzed.

So, well, hopefully not too much $$$.

Thanks,

1990 240 DL li'l red wee beastie wagon.
