yea, just tap it out with a hammer, and put the new one though with a nut and keep tightening it until you feel its been pressed through enough.
theres vids on youtube.

I just got 12 studs/lugs replaced and it cost me 200 bucks to have it done at a shop, what a rip off, i should have done it myself but i didnt have enough time to

when i bought my xj, i only ahd 4 lug nuts on my passenger side rear. Soon found out the PO stripped it. New stud was under $2 at autozone and just a bit of beating the old one out with a bfh. Dont recall having to take anything more than the tire off to get to it.

alright cool thanks guys, and yeah that was my thought, if its torqued than it should be fine, well i went out and thought about it and looked at it and the lug isnt as far down as all the other ones, so i just wanna fix it now before it gets any worse, also its the passenger side front one, sorry i wasnt too specific
