don't laugh.... a bolt that holds the front wheel on broke, still have 4 left and was wondering if it was safe to drive on???... the remaining nuts that were on were loose, i jacked it up and tightened the others back down... how easy is this to fix and how do i do it???
 

yes you will be fine to drive on that, its not ideal but you will be ok. as far as removing the stud,(the thing that the bolt screwed onto) just beat it out from the front with a hammer. after you get it out just go to autozone or whatever and replace it.


ps. if i were you i would also check all other lug nuts to make sure that they are tight.
 
We replaced the stud on my friends lancer and had to pull the disc thing that holds the studs off to put a new one on that..no issues like that? because the bolt wouldn't fit to stick it in place
 

You'll have to remove the caliper and rotor to get to the back of the hub to install the new lug. You can order them online fairly cheap at www.4wd.com .
