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.

 

You shouldnt need a press. Just clamp your rotor carefully and hammer it out. Very easy to switch.

sounds about right

 

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.

 

Thats once again guys. You are all great!!!!!
