Good advice to tighten the others, I hadn’t thought of that.

If the broken lug isn’t totally tight, I would try a slotted screwdriver and hammer, slowly pounding it loose, that’s if there’s a lot left, if it’s real thin, the chisel should work.

Nice job on that too… :tup: I snapped a lug stud myself a week ago.
