Re: 00 honda civic dx -Snapped a lug nut off
umm you grind the stud, knock it out, and put a new one in? idk what else you would do.
if you snapped it off inside the wheel, then you are gonna have to drill the stud out

i'm sure you can. just tighten the 3 remaining ones. I see ricers running around here with only 3 lugs, (IVE EVEN SEEN ONLY 2 LUGS ONE TIME!!!!)

Go directly to the nearest tire place and let them deal with it. You can end up damaging the hub and this becomes a much bigger ordeal than the minor problem it is now. This probably happens to everyone at some point.

Don't mess with this wheel, or try to take any other nuts off.

never happened to me :/
but i have a habit of replacing studs if i ever think they are starting to strip instead of waiting til they strip and break off.
plus i use an impact to take off, and a torque wrench to install.

Re: 00 honda civic dx -Snapped a lug nut off
Ended up changing three of 4 studs yesterday in the drive way . the hardest part was getting those F'n Screws out of the rotors . Was pretty straight fwd if you have the right tools . Couldn't have done it with out a impact driver and the grinder . I had to drill one screw out even with all the right gear and once the rotor was off i just ground down the stud tapped it out and put the new one in. Had to grind a bit of the side of the head of the new stud to make them fit with out having to take the wheel hub off.
