so this isnt on my cts but it is the same part number(had to change one on the cts because it was cross threaded last year) and im not on any forum for my truck so...here it is...

went to change the brakes on my 2002 jimmy yesterday... my dad went to take a wheel off and the stud snapped off within 1/2 turn to loosen one lug...
so my friend came to help got it all appart, replaced the stud, swapped the pads all back together... torking the lugs to 80fp (i usually torque them at 80 then drive around the block and re-torque to 95fp) and SNAP... another one just broke off... my torque wrench is bran new and barely any pressure on it it was probably at about 60-70 fp if even that.....

so any ideas what would cause this? it just blows my mind how easily they broke....little scared....

i am getting 4 more studs for that wheel and putting them in so it will have 5 bran new ones...they are about $6 each so i dont want to go replacing them on all the wheels but its tempting. if i can find them for cheaper ill grab them all and swap them.
