I was trying to remove my front left tire and one of the lugs was crossthreaded and the lug bolt ended up snapping. Does anyone know How to put in a new lug bolt? I managed to get the old one out, but only because it was snapped in half. Any suggestions or links to web sites with Diagrams would be greatly appeciated. In fact if anyone have any kind of blueprints or diagrams of the front fender and its compontents that would be nice to look at too as i am replacing the fender.

Well here is the procedure but it is really cheap at most tire stores to have them pop out the bad one and have a new one pressed in.
WHEEL MOUNTING STUDS - FRONT REMOVAL Use the following procedure to remove and install one of five studs on one wheel hub. (1) Raise the vehicle. Refer to Hoisting in Lubrication And Maintenance. (2) Remove the front tire and wheel assembly. (3) Remove the two guide pin bolts securing the front disc brake caliper to the steering knuckle (Fig. 26). (4) Remove the disc brake caliper from the steering knuckle. The caliper is removed by first tipping either the top (right side) or bottom (left side) of the caliper away from the brake rotor, then pulling the caliper off the opposite ends caliper slide abutment (on the knuckle) and rotor. (5) Hang the caliper out of the way using a wire hanger or cord. Do not support the caliper by letting it hang by the hydraulic hose. (6) Remove any retainer clips from the wheel mounting studs. Remove the brake rotor from the front hub (Fig. 26). CAUTION: Do not hammer wheel mounting studs out of the hub. Damage to the wheel bearing will occur, leading to premature bearing failure. Fig. 24 Wheel And Cover Mounting 1 - WHEEL MOUNTING NUTS 2 - BOLT-ON WHEEL COVER (7) Install a wheel mounting nut on the wheel mounting stud being removed from the hub far enough so the threads on the stud are even with end of lug nut. Rotate the hub so the stud requiring removal is aligned with notch cast into front of the steering knuckle. Install Remover, Special Tool C-4150A, on hub flange and wheel stud (Fig. 27). (8) Tighten the remover, pushing the wheel mounting stud out the rear of the hub flange. When the shoulder of the stud is past the flange, remove the remover from the hub. Remove the nut from the stud, then remove the stud from the flange. INSTALLATION Use the following procedure to remove and install one of five studs on one wheel hub. (1) Install the wheel mounting stud in the flange of hub from the rear side. Install several washers and a wheel mounting nut on the stud (Fig. 28). The wheel mounting nut must be installed with the flat side of the wheel mounting nut against the washers to eliminate binding. (2) Tighten the wheel mounting nut. This will pull the wheel mounting stud into the flange of the hub. When the head of the stud is fully seated against the rear of the hub flange, remove the wheel mounting nut and washers from the stud. (3) Install the brake rotor on the hub (Fig. 26). (4) Install the disc brake caliper (with pads) on the brake rotor and steering knuckle. The left side caliper is installed by first sliding the top of the caliper past the top abutment on the steering knuckle to hook the top edge of the caliper, then pushing the lower end of the caliper into place against the knuckle (Fig. 29). The right side caliper is installed by first sliding the bottom edge of the caliper past the lower abutment on the steering knuckle to hook the lower edge of the caliper, then pushing the top of the caliper into place against the steering knuckle. (5) Install the two guide pin bolts securing the front disc brake caliper to the steering knuckle (Fig. 26). Tighten the guide pin bolts to a torque of 22 N·m (192 in. lbs.). (6) Install the tire and wheel assembly. Install the wheel mounting nuts and tighten them to a torque of 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.).

Not a website. It is off of the CD repair manual and the figures don't copy when I cut and paste the .pdf file.
