Default Broke one of the bolts on my wheel

Hey guys, I somehow managed to brake one of the bolts on my front right hand wheel , its broken half way with the rest of the bolt inside the lug. Which part do I need to replace ?. Does that 5 bolt part come of or is it integrated into something else? Thanks, Stan.

Stan I believe you are just talking about the studs. You can buy them at autozone for about $2 each. If this is what you are actually talking about.

Well I'm not sure, you know how there are 5 bolts leading out of the hub and the wheels go onto them and then you screw the lugs on to hold them down. Well I broke one of those bolts half way, do they pop out of the rear? how do I remove the broken bolt? thanks dx.

Recommend a Lexus replacement wheel stud and replacement lug nut. This insures the replacements will match the other four.

They are torqued to 76 ft lbs.

Make sure you get some anti-seize compound on the studs before you put ur wheels on.
