Lug bolt missing on front wheel...
1990 Honda Accord LX.
Passengers side wheel.
I was pulling all the tires off to check them for rust and when I got to the passegers side front tire one of the lug nuts was broken. By that I mean that the bolt that holds them to the hub(I think thats what its called) had broken free of the hub. How do I go about fixing this? Can I just get a new bolt and install it on the old hub or do I need a whole new hub?

Yes you can just replace the broken lug with a new one. You have to remove the hub and push on the broken lug through the otherside. From what I remember, you might need a press to get the lug out of the hub.

Yea, pound the crap out of that broken stud and pop it out through the other side of the hub. I would suggest taking the hub off. It'll make it easier to get the stud out. Go to your local auto parts store and get a new stud. They have that stuff in the "oh crap, I broke something miscelaneous on my car" section.
