I went out to scout some trails this weekend and blew a tire. No big deal, we got to some flat ground and put on the spare. Spare fit fine. It's an original Toyota 16-in wheel from a Land Cruiser. Tire size was identical. It's Sunday and I'm driving back to Texas from Oklahoma, so there's no tire shops open. It's quite a drive, but the spare is holding air and looks good aside from a few age cracks, so I decided to try driving. About halfway there, my wheel snaps off and I pull over as I watch my it roll down the road on highway 75. Of course, I'm grinding on the brake rotor and some of the other assembly is mangled. Luckily, I was able to pull over in a safe location and I'm waiting for a tow truck to show up to help get me home (2.5 hour estimate!).
In the meantime, it would be awesome if one of you fine folks with more experience could help me with a parts list for what will likely need to be replaced. Obviously, I need to replace the rotor and I might as well do the one on the other side and do a brake job at the same time. I will need to replace the shield that sits behind the rotor and look for anything else that might have been damaged. I will also have four brand new tires mounted on the wheels and transfer one of the best older tires to a new spare wheel. I can handle this kind of repair and I know how and where to source the parts. The parts I'm worried about are what's inside that might have gotten damaged and what it will take to replace those studs. It's been years and years since I last did a stud replacement and it was on a completely different vehicle, so I don't know what's required on mine.
With everything being closed today, of course I can't have a tow truck take the rig to a local shop, so I'm having them bring it to my house. Part of the 153 mile tow is being covered by AAA, but the remainder is going to cost a nice chunk of change and I'd really rather do the rest of the work at home. I'm set up with just about all the tools I would probably need, though I might need to pick up some snap ring pliers or any Toyota specific tools.
It would be really appreciated if any of you could give me a parts list of stuff you think is most likely to be damaged, so I can start ordering now. I have another event on February 5th through 7th and I need this vehicle to be road ready by then.
