Missing lug nut and broken stud!!

[Ilsimen]

Last night I noticed my left front wheel was missing a lug nut and on further inspection I found that the stud is broken off. My question is can I hammer out the broken stud and replace just the one, or do I have to buy the whole new assembly? BTW, its an 01 GT. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you-Mike

I'd check with the local tire shop. Chances are good they can replace the broken stud.

Well, I was kinda hoping it was something I can do on my own.

You can just replace just the broken stud...I've had it done on mine but it would probably be easier to have a tire shop do it...doesn't take very long.

A typical tire shop does jobs like this all the time, it'll take them like 15 minutes and it will be cheap, like $20.

Well, ran it down to local tire shop. $36.00 with tax, but it's done now so I guess it was worth it.

Just curious did you have to bring them the stud to put in? I need to get this done to mine as well

Most shops have the studs on hand.

They had the stud. It was a $2 part and $32.50 labor. I'm sure I could have gotten it done cheaper, but I live right down the street from the biggest tire and wheel shop around. I did see some nice wheels for sale though! I really hate the wheels that the previous owner put on, mainly because they are the type that will fit any car (4,5, or 6 stud wheels) I saw some at the shop today that just made me
