Default help. i broke a lug nut bolt
Please help I broke a lug nut bolt, on the front driver side. How do I remove them? I banged it out already but it doesn't come out because it doesn't clear. Do I have to remove the whole hub? If so how?

It's tough to pull the hub without replacing the bearing. I'd plan on a new bearing like p0staboy said.

to cut the costs down remove the knucle yourself and bring it to a shop with a press and have them remove the hub so the studs can be removed. Bring a new wheel bearing also

if you don't have access to a press, that^^ would be your best option.

Can I buy the bearing and studs locally like at autozobe or napa or do I have to order them online or at the stealership and wait?
