the lug stud?...on my civ i had a period of time where they were spining left and right..every other time i took a tire off one stud would spin so id have to drill the lug nut out and put a new stud on...now on a 4th gen civ they are very easy to replce..they are less then a buck a peice and all u have to do it take the break caliper off and the stud is actually on the spindle or the "hub". if they have spun and lost the teeth they will push right out otherwise u may have to use a hammer...they will come out and then u just put the replacement stud in and hit it fromt he back a few times and oonce u get the teeth set..u can put a lug nut on and tighten it down and the stud will further set in place...on my civic i had to grind one part of the round backing on the stud flat to put it in but...now i havent looked at the breaks on my teg yet so im not positve this will be the same for u but if its the same as the civic...you can do it with about 15 min (for ur first time) and if u need three studs then about 4 bucks or less

weld? what if it breaks again and then it'll be harder to replace.....anyways, what if i just buy some studs and hammer it into the hole...will the teeths hold good? if it does i'm going to just do that and save some money....??

mine have held up so far...i think it will be ok for you..when u remove your wheels do u use a impact wrench or just a tire iron?...the studs become loose and the teeth ware when u tighent tghe lug nuts too hard with a tire iron so just be careful...if the loosen too much and ware to big of a hole for the teeth to bite go ahead and tack weld like one or 2 welds on the back of the stud..a little grinding will qllow them to come off easy if they break again
