I snapped a wheel bolt off and one or 2 of the three remaining is loose. How do you fix that? Just slap a new bolt in there or is it one of those things that's gonna have to be shopped?
I wanna clarify though that i'm talkin about the bolts on the spindle itself, not the lug nuts or anything. the 4 bolts that the rotor slides onto. I heard I can just stick a new bolt in there and call it a day, but i need some more details.

i had the same problem and its not easy at all to do. i ended up just having a shop do it for $75 and had them replace all 16 at the same time.

My friend fixed his on his front spindle 96 civic dx which is about the same in less than 5 min. with advance auto bolt. All you have to do is carve a notch in the head of the bolt and voila it'll work...
Edit: It did take him about 10min. to pop the old busted bolt out with a hammer though...
