Hi List...

I arrived at our campground last night and noticed that one of the lug
nuts was missing from the right front wheel on my M35A2, and upon
further inspection noticed the stud was snapped off flush with the
wheel.

I also noticed the telltale whisper of rust coming from the remaining
5 lug nuts, so I checked them and they were all a little bit loose but
all less than 1/8 of a turn or so.

Two questions:

What caused the one stud to break off?

How do I fix it?

Thanks!
