Is anything wrong with the other ones? I wouldn't do it. Replacing studs loosens up the connection between the stud and the hub. If the others are not stripped or crossed, you'd be better off brushing on some anti-seize and replacing the lug nuts."The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

A good question would be how did it break? Did it break while you were removing it threfore you just need anti sieze on the others or did it break because of excessive torque. If it was a torque issue I would replace all of them becuase the others were most likely subjected to the same condition. I did my son's CJ not long ago and placed the studs in the freezer over night. They slipped in with just a few taps and locked in solid when they warmed up.

By looking at the picture of the other studs........ There is alot of aluminum on them..... I would clean the old studs and replace the broken one. Looks like you have aluminum wheels and they were not torqued to 80 lbs properly and it came loose and broke the one stud.
