You can technically drive on 3 studs, just make sure the lugs areon nice and straight. I've done it at highway speeds. Not recommended for a long perios of time. ( basically, get to where youre going to fix it)

Fixing it is easy. Whatever wheel it is, jack that side of car up.
Remove tire.
Take a pin of some sort (center punch) and hammer out any remaining wheel stud back into the rotor/hub until it falls into the back of the rotor.
Pull back on brake dust shield behind the rotor until you can reach into the rotor and fish the broken piece out.

Install:

Rotate rotor by hand until empty wheel stud slot is on the bottom.
Again, by pulling back on the dust shield you can insert the new wheel stud into the slot.
Put wheel on and torque lug nut down to pull wheel stud into place. (Stud is grooved). Remove wheel and check to ensure stud has completely pulled into back of rotor.
Reinstall wheel.

It is safe, but I'd fix it ASAP.

I drove on three for awhile and its fine......
but fix it asap would be great..Plus its a simple thing to do..

its a easy fix

1 jack up the cb
2 take off the tire
3 have e brake up and leave it on netural ( make sure u chock ur wheels
4 remove brake caliper
5 set broke stud to were the caliper was in position (open through the back)
6 install new stud and hammer in with a metal punch or install in stud put on lug nut and torque impact gun (suggest hamer and punch method it safer )
7 reverse 4 trough 1


good luck buddy

You don't even need to take off the caliper. Theres plenty of room at the the bottom of the rotor. But to each their own.

For me I:

Loosened the axle nut
Crack loose lugs
Jacked up car
Loosened lugs
Took off wheel
Take off calipers
Removed lower balljoint
Removed 10mm star bolts from behind rotor
Disassemble rotor/hub to access studs
Hammer it out
Hammer it in
Reverse uninstallation minus hammering out

[jdm_inspired]

The other alternative is to loosen axle nut and use a slide hammer.

THIS is a pain.

wow, If i was replacing an axle or a rotor i would probably go through all that. Eventually, you break enough wheel studs you figure out the quickest way to replace one. Good sutff though. Has a DIY with pics been written yet for replacing a wheel stud? I havent searched...

i did it my way without remove the hub that just much work so i found a easier way
