Broke off a stud..
I was taking off my rear driver's side wheel today and the lugs were really seized on there. So I gave it hell with my trusty 4 way tire iron and heres the result:
I finished putting the new struts on and drove it already; seems fine but what could happen over time? That wheel is only held on by 4/5 lugs. Is it the hub that has the studs attached to it? If so is it worth replacing for ~ $100?

you can drive with 4. might be better to use 3, for balancing reasons? (not sure about this.. someone else can verify)
but yes, the hub has the stems on it.

Doesn't really matter to be exact. He can even drive on two tied on the opposite ends and still get to destination safely. 4 out of 5 is perfectly fine to drive. Especially since it's in the rear. And yes, it's the hub that has those attached to them. Call a junk yard, maybe you can get a stud or a hub from them and just replace the stud - will still be cheaper than brand new.

cost isn't much of an issue at all if you replace it yourself. studs aren't expensive. You can drive with 4 if you make sure they are tighten enough (100 ft-lbs).

I thought the studs were a part of the hub, all one piece. If the studs change out individually I might as well eh?

yes, the studs can be changed individually. its a pretty common thing. you'll just need an air impact or a breaker bar to break it loose.

Yeah parts are around $4 and it's real easy, just did this when one of my studs were stripped.

Yep, smack it out with a big hammer. Put in the new one, a bunch of washers then the nut (backwards) and the impact wrench will pull it into place. There may be a position where the head of the bolt will go back causing the least jamming, rotate the hub and check it first for clearance.
BTW 4 out of 5 is ok, 3 out of 5 (not all in a row) is acceptable. 2 is only for very short distances (rear only). If you have factory wheels (or proper aftermarket ones) the weight should be supported by the hub, not the bolts. This only applies to the rear where there is a LOT less side force. Be safe!

Studs are like $2.30 each from the dealer.
If you can change your brakes, you can change the stud, You just need a hammer, they are press fit.
If you can't do it yourself, shouldn't be more than $30 for a shop it do

I was planning to change my front pass. side hub soon, so with that under my belt fixing the stud on the other wheel should be no problem. Too bad that how-to on changing hubs lost all its pics though, as I haven't done that before. I'm sure it will be alright though, I never changed struts before yesterday either and that went smooth as pie. I'm lowered now too.

Changing a hub is a cake. For me the hardest part was taking off the hub caps and lug nuts off the wheel. That was before I worked at a garage and had to do it at home using a wrench and extension pipe
Btw. for the hub, make sure you that huge socket that goes over a locking nut. I had to get one from a Auto zone, was like 35 CAD and is hard to find in Canada. Just a little obstacle to avoid
