HELP! something broke

[Andy96XLT]

So I was taking my wheel off today to do my spark plugs and wires and of course nothing can be simple, so a bolt broke off with the lug. Can I fix this myself?? Is it really hard? what parts do i need/ are they very expensive? I'm so annoyed right now heres a pic just to show what im talking about and please help! Thanks

Are you 2wd or 4wd??? If your 2wd just go buy a new rotor and your good to go. Only about 35$...

you should be able to replace the lug for about 5.00. Just knock that one out with a punch and draw the new one up with the lug nut and a stack of washers.

You can replace the wheel studs separately, only costs like $3.

I am 4WD and how do I replace the stud? Can I get it at any parts store like pepboys? Thanks.

I just looked on pepboys website and it says that I need to take the calipers and disk brake off. Is this true? I am not the most mechanically inclined but can do some pretty basic stuff. I just don't want to mess this up more than it is. I don't even know how to take the brakes off lol.

Hmm
If you don't get the parts back in place correctly, or tightened enough-it could be very unsafe. If you aren't experienced with brakes, can you find a friend who is?

If not, I would take this in for a repair.

hmm yea maybe I should ask around. The brakes seem like something you want to always be working lol. If I brought the truck in to get it fixed any idea how much it would cost? Im thinking since its pretty simple to just head over to pepboys or something.

picked up the stud today at pepboys for 2.09 and me and a buddy did the entire thing in about an hour and everything seems to be great. Thanks for the help everyone.
