Wheel nuts & studs

ocarros

Sunday Drivers
I've a 162 Forester and wheels were off today getting brakes looked at. Disaster putting the wheels on as some nuts sheared off. Where can I get replacement nuts and studs? Subaru only? Or are they a general piece of equipment? Would anyone know the sizes/specs? Thanks.

Confirm filament ?
 
Just be careful tightening nut in future, over tightening causes this issue , torque wrench is handy , teng tools do few specific ones for just torquing wheels , no need to set the torque value ,so handy to just grab and torque them once the wheel is on and nuts are hand tight
