So its like 6:31 am Im barely awake and walking to my car and what do I see a stupid flat tire. No biggie get the jack the spare put the wrench on one of the bolts and trying to unskrew the damn thing and when it snaps OFF.
Im not making big of a deal out of it so far. Tomorrow I have to be with my unit in the army, there a few mechanics there they might know how to fix this but if anyone had this before which im sure someone had to have this problem before. How do i fix this, and how much am i looking at.

Thanks in advance for all of your input.

Goto autozone. Get a new stud and lug

Rotate the hub so that stud will clear the caliper and dust shield.

pound it out with a sledge

stick new one through the hole put a pile of washers on the stud

use a lugnut to pull the stud into the hub.

AM????

ahh the dark rim theme, easy to touchup in case you scratch too.

Well wheel stud wasn't that bad to replace but took a little more work than I thought. To get the old one out i didnt have to do much just knocked it out and it fell on the floor but to get the new one in i had to take rotor off, and then unskrew I think 5 or 6 hex bolts toremove another piece that was in the way but over all took like 20 minutes max. no special mechanical abilities required to do this.
