02 4 lug bolt snapped

[Postman158]

Hey guys,

I was changing my brakes today, and when I used the impact wrench to take off the lugs, one of the bolts that the lug screws onto snapped in half. Has this happened to anyone else before? Do you run with 3 lugs temporarily? And, how difficult is it to fix that bolt?

Thanks!

it's ok until you can repair it honestly. repair it soon. should be able to knock it out with a hammer. pull a new one through with the wheel and lug.

I wouldn't use the wheel. Find a nut that slips over the stud and use that to tighten against instead of the wheel..

I drove to Vegas once in a Corolla running just 3 lugnuts.

Haha thanks guys. Yeah we're gonna hit the broken bolt out, and put a new one in. They have them at oriley auto parts for like 2 bucks.
