Default Snapped a bolt while removing rims

I was removing the lugs so I can put on my spare tire and I snapped 1 of them. Will I be able to just buy a new bolt or do I have to buy the whole assembly?(I'm not sure what it's called)
Does any one know how much money this will cost? I'm kind of stuck and the Z is my DD. Does anyone have any info to help me out please?

Thanks

You can replace just the stud.

Front or rear axle?

Front part number is: 43222-Z33001 $2.22 each
Rear part number is: 43222-Z33002 $2.83 each

It's not a pain to replace, it's actually quite straight-forward with the proper tools.

Cheap fix

I assume you didn't use a Torque wrench when tightening the lugs, or you used an impact gun and over torqued it.

This always happens to my buddies, they never listen.

I bought the car a few months ago. I got a nail in my original tires, but I'm assuming an impact gun was used. Is there a how to on here on how to change the bolts? I can't seem to find any.

Drive what is left of the broken one out with a hammer and punch.

Get an extra lug nut or standard nut that fits the stud, open ended so that the stud can come all the way through it.

Place the stud into the hole and then place a stack of washers on the stud, on the front (wheel) side of the hub.

Screw the open ended nut on to the stud and tighten it down to pull the stud through. An impact wrench is best to do this with. You can do it with a standard lug wrench but you will have to find some way to keep the hub from turning while you tighten it down.

H-u-g-e advantage of a five-stud/nut set up! When you've only got four, it's
worrisome--and dangerous--to ride on three!
