Cracked Stud. Quick Help Please.

I just cracked one stud off one of the rear wheels. So now only four lug nuts are holding down the wheel. Do you think this will be safe to drive for 1 day through the city?

I personally think it should be fine. This happened to me once before. The tire shop had overtorqued the lugnuts with the impact/air gun. The next time I took off the lugnuts, the stud just snapped off inside the lugnut. I drove like that for 2 days before taking it back to the tire shop.

Ditto. Happened to me before. Shouldn't be a big deal. Just get it fixed ASAP.

You should be fine. A lot of Hondas only have four lugs.

Stick Out Tongue

Use a torque wrench to avoid this happening again.
