Wheel stud broke off!!
ok.. Basically I was changing my wheels around and when I went to tighten the wheel nuts one of the studs broke off the hub! 
Ok right now I've got 3 nuts holding the wheel on. I wanna know what are my options:
1, replace just the stud? (if so how?)
2, replace the entire hub? (again instrutions mite be needed)
oh and also is it ok to drive around with 3 nuts holding on the wheel?
Thank you for all your help.

sounds like a perfect time todo a 5 lug conversion :/ 3 lugs aint to good wouldn't recommend it at all wouldn't be cool if something else went wrong when on the freeway

yeah it's $15 at NTB. happened to me, idiots at the tire shop b4 when i had the tires changed used and air gun to put them back on. it took a 3 foot break bar just to get it to snap. it's ok to drive it around for a while. i did, but i have 5 lugs anyway, i know people that have done 3 for 5-6 months, but i would'nt reccomend it
