shitty man. I broke one of mine off, when I was rotating my wheels front to back, (with no power tools) I drove it to the dealership on three studs, but 2 is kinda pushing it. Be careful, and drive slow.

on accord they are pressed, i think..

you can put anti-seize(SP) on the stud and it will not fall off, if the wheel fasteners(aka lug nuts) is properly tighten(torqued down)
it make it easier to remove the rims next time, you never know when you'll have a flat tire and your sh_t wont budge in middle of the night in a bad neighbor

that's way too much it's really not that hard if you can get an air gun I changed my studs myself with an air gun the only hard part was getting the caliper back on or what you could do is go by discount tire they might fix it

ya just drive slow. youll know lugs are getting loose when your wheel starts shaking and you might hear clammering.

when the wheel be a shakin, pull over immediately!

lol
at least yours broke off
mine seized on. i tried busting it off with a 3/4 drive impact gun and that wouldnt even get it off.
i finally had to drill through the nut and then drill into the bolt. that sucked.
