Anyone know how to replace the wheel lug?
I was testing how some new rims would look in the wheel well and when I took my stock wheels off, one of the lugs broke(the stud, not the nut). I bought a new lug and nut from autozone and just wanted know if anyone knows the best way to replace these? Do I have to take the entire caliper off to access the back side of the rotor or is there an easier way? Trying to save myself a potential headache. Thanks
Addition: I didn't realize this needed to be in the tire section, but this is in reference to the 1stGen GS300. I have no clue if this is different between models.

Thanks. I figured there might be an easier way, but guess not. It worked fine by the way. All done in just a few minutes and saved myself some money. Thanks BCP43002.
