How much does it cost to replace the thing on my car that holds the tire on?

I recently had a flat tire when I went to change it one of the four bolts or screws broke off. The actual metal which the bolt connects to broke. How much does it cost to replace that on a compact car such as a nissan sentra. And might sound crazy but is it possible to get by with out one in the mean time? I mean there are 3 other tight bolts holding the tire on?How much does it cost to replace the thing on my car that holds the tire on?You will be OK for a little while if all the other lugnuts are tight enough, but you will not pass inspection and you really shouldnt drive too much on it. On a lot of cars this is a very easy fix and you can do it yourself since you know how to take the wheel off. Take the wheel and look at the broken stud. Look behind it to see if there is enough room for you to pull it out the back and fit a new one in the hole. You may be able to rotate the wheel hub to get the stud to one open spot where you have enough clearance. Then just bang the broken stud out with a hammer. Hit the broken end a few times and as long as there is enough clearance it will come flying out the back. Then just slide a new stud in from the back. It will not go in all the way at first but that is OK. Just put the wheel back on and when you tighten it the stud will get pulled into place. If there is not enough clearance to get the stud out you will need to take more of the brake assemble apart to fit in a new stud. You may want to take it to a shop at that point if you dont know much about cars. It shouldnt cost you too much money. For the stud itself just go to any auto parts store and tell them you need a wheel stud for your car. It should only cost $1 - $2.

The inner face of the lug nut us tapered to help center the wheel on the hub. Lug studs re the special studs that accept the lug nuts. The studs are pressed through the back of the hub or axle flange. Normally, the lug nuts and studs have right hand threads { turn clockwise to tighten} these lug nuts are what screw on to the lug bolt. And the tires should have 5 lug bolts. it is dangerous to drive with one lug bolt missing because the that is what secures the hub and other parts of assembly..How much does it cost to replace the thing on my car that holds the tire on?Depending on what size the rotor or drum is it should be like 80 bucks replacing isn't hard to do and you'd be paying the technician a hours worth of work, but so it rounds around 120 ish to 180, but no it's not safe get it fixed but the rotor or drum have it checked out..
