Is it possible to replace a broken lugnut stude without removing the rotors?
I have 1996 Honda Accord (one of the most poorly desgined cars ever). I say this because it has captive rotors which are pain in the *** to remove. So I wanted to ask if it would be possible to replace my broken lugnut stud without having to go through the hassle of removing a captive rotor? Thanks!

If you have very very tiny hands, like a barbie doll. I don't care how much of a pain it is, just remove rotors, do it right.

Nope. You'll have to remove the rotor. The stud is simply a bolt with a head on it. The head of the bolt keeps the lug nut from pulling the bolt through the rotor.

The rotor needs to come off.
If you don't know how to adjust wheel bearings have a mechanic replace the stud for you.
Watch a youtube informational video if you still want to play mechanic!

Go to the library and look in Chilton's or Haynes repair manual and learn the only way to do the job.

Assuming your old one is shorter, it should be easy to pop out. I have had luck with grinding the lip off of the stud. Not all of it mind you. You could even shorten the stud a little if needed. Where there is a will...

Ha, almost like mine. I have a Chevy Colorado and the rotors come off with the bearing with built in ABS sensor with long *** pigtail connector.

The rotor is the lasting you should be worried about. It depends on how much clearance you have behind the hub. I would try using a thread chaser before attempting to remove a stud.
