snapped wheel stud

I had a wheel stud snap today while I was driving home.

Should I replace all 4 of them or just the broken one.

It was on the rear passenger.

For the sake of time, tap out the broken one and replace it. If the others ain't broke, don't fix. They don't cost much though. The problem I ran into is when you're inserting a new stud and it won't tap in because the lip is a little fatter than the hole. I just took my grinder and zipped it down a bit and it fits fine.

You can do one at a time.
But check the other 3, look for pulled threads and weak points on the shaft.
You may want to do all 4 just as a CYA measure.

I feel like if they're all the same age, and one broke, I'd go ahead and replace them all. They're like $2 each or so.

No need to replace the ones that aren't damaged. Make sure they're not cracked, or have damaged threads though.
