I broke 1 of 5 which holds the lug nuts while i was replacing a flat tire. I plan to change this part but what is it and where would i find this? thanks. ( there are not as many viewers under wheels and tires )

5 lugs hold your wheels right? my question is what part hold the lugs, i broke 1 of 5 that holds the lugs. need to replace w/e that part is to have 5 lugs again.

You need a wheel lug stud. You could probably get a generic at a Carquest or similar parts store. I would recommend remocing the broken one to take with you to the store. If you get one from Nissan, it may cost more but will be OEM and just like the one you broke. I put a thin film of Anti seize on the threads of my studs to lessen the chances of breakage.

"wheel lug stud".. i take it that this is just for the one i broke. would that be a regular procedure? sounds like im just glueing it back on. which im sure isnt the case but is the piece that holds all 5 more difficult/costly to do?

They are splined into the wheel hub. You can knock the broken one out as long as you have enough clearance and install the new one. Use a bunch of flat washers to put between the stud and the nut to install the new stud. That will allow the splines to engage into the hub and lock it in place. After you tighten the nut against the washers, remove the nut and washers and reinstall your wheel. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, let somebody else do it for you.

You're looking for a wheel stud. Any auto parts store should have them. Bang yours out with a hammer and take it to the store for a match.

Good Luck, it's an easy fix.
