Tried to replace a flat tire on new car (left front).
Lug nut sheared off.
Are the studs knock outs (like my Mustang) or is more involved to the repair (remove/replace front axle, etc.)?

They will be able to be pounded out and new ones put back in.

Actually I would take it back into the dealership, still under warranty, don't mess around with it, have them replace it, sounds like a error on their part.
