Subject says it all. While rotating tires, managed to ruin the
threads on a bolt the lug nut screws into. How hard is the bolt to
replace? Looking at the Haynes manual and I'm a bit confused. Must
the drum brakes come out too?

'99 Camry, rear tire, drum brakes (not disc brakes).

Thanks,

Michael

If I remember correctly, you'll have to remove the drum and press the old
bolt out. Then press a new one in. You can probably get them at AutoZone,
although they have been cutting back on the hardware they keep in stock.

Have a look at the condition of the shoes. Since you already have the drum
off anyway...

On "press it out"... hammer out with a mallet? Special tool?

Generally with a genuine press. You can hammer it out. If your luck is
like mine, you'll warp the drum...

The piece you are referring to is called a stud, not a bolt.

You should be able to tap it out with a brass hammer. Wear safety glasses
when you strike the stud. Rotate the flange the stud is mounted on so that
there is clearance behind the stud for when it is loose. When you install
the replacement stud, pull it back out with a lug nut.
