Default Broke a lug off, need help!

Okay, I just got my new Enkeis yesterday. As I was takeing my old Rotas off, I noticed one of the lug nuts on my rear passenger wheel was wicked hard to take off. Well I finaly got it off, but with half of the lug still in the lug-nut. How do I go about replacing that lug? Is this an easy job? What will I need to do this?

I've never done this before and figured I'd ask before ripping it all appart.
Thanks, any help is much apreciated. I'll be on AIM later if you want to talk on that instead.

What does he means by lug? The stud (bolt) of it?
I guess he broke a wheel stud. If so, just replace it. Oh, Epstein, there's no need to remove the brake calipers from the rotors. I replaced mines w/o removing them from the rotors. Just disconnect the brake line bracket on the strut, then simply slide out the rotor with the calipers still on, and move it away. Hammer out the stud, it will pop out. Then slip the new one in, use 5 washers and a lug nut to pull the new wheel stud into place. Then put rotors and wheels back on.

Easy as hammering the studs outta the hub and putting in a new one not too hard I broke one or two back when I had my s13 if its just a stud which is what it sounds like go to nissan and pic up a stud and knock the old one out with a hammer it will pop out on the 89 if im not mistaken and you will just need to put a new one in through the back in the hub. Just push the new one till it clicks in and you should be fine.
