HELP: Stripped stud

Alright guys, so i decided to rotate my tires today and ended up stripping one of the stud in the passenger front wheel, 4/5 lug nuts are within torque specs.

I have a few questions is it okay to ride on 4/5 lug nuts?

The lug nut and stud is completely stripped. I sourced out a lug nut for $6 but i can't seem to find just 1 oem stud?

(is this the correct lug nut 21mm)

What size is the stud itself?

To replace the stud, i have to remove the brake calipers and rotor correct?

Thanks guys.

Any Lexus dealership should have the stud. I think the part number is 9094202070. Please double check it as I am not sure (just did a quick google search).

To remove the stud, you need to remove the caliper and rotor in order to get to the back of the wheel hub..

I went to Lordco when I broke a stud. They had the stud in stock AND the exact special Gorilla lug nut. I bought both for like $6?

Within 20 minutes, I was back home installing the new stud.

Not sure if there is a Lordco here in GA.

Studs are pretty standard and basic. Just go to any parts store, they should be able to look it up and have lots in stock.

Thanks guys! Ended up going to the dealers and paid $11 for the stud and lug nut. The pepboys near me was out of stock and i didn't want to wait.

All i gotta say is WOW, it was much easier to replace a broken stud on a Lexus versus my old STI.
