Ok i have a problem. I broke a couple of lugs trying to put a new tire on my car and now one wont even come off at all. it just spins on the stud. is there anyone here in tucson who can help. i dont know if i could drive it with only two of the studs holding the tire on but i also need to replace the broken studs. if anyone can help out or at least instruct me on how to do it at home. any info is great thanks.

Ouch. OK, you have 2 problems. First is to get the spinning one back off. Usually all you'll have to do is get something to put the stud back into it's seat so that you can get the nut off. If not, you'll have to cut it off.
Once it's off, replacing them is easy, as all you have to do is pound the broken ones out of the rotor or drum and replace with the new ones. The rotors have a spot where you can pound them through without takling the rotor off the spinldle, and drums are super easy once you remove the drum.
Good Luck!

We had to do this on my Mom's Ford Truck. OMG WHAT A PITA!!! like three hours and a Sawzall, a hammer and a screw driver. We finally were able to chisel the lug off. but once you get it off it's a breeze from there. You can either buy a new Rotor ( Which may be easier) or pound em all back in with new ones. Good Luck!
