[DML] Wheel Lug Bolt Failure

["michaelwtownsley" <michaeltownsley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yesterday I had new tires put on my car (replacing the factory originals).  I took the car on short in town drive latter in the day and heard something come off car.  When I was able to inspect the car it looks a lug bolt to the left rear tire has sheared off taking the lug nut with it.

I was looking at my Tech Manual however it does not have any specifics on how to replace a lug bolt.  Does anyone have any directions on how to do this repair or know of any cross reference to replacement parts from a more popular production vehicle?

Since there are only 3 lugs still on the wheel I was wondering how far I could drive it to get it to get it repaired.

As a side note I have owned this car for over 15 years and I have only let a repair shop work on it twice and both times it ended up that they broke something on it.
