Take the rotor off and remove the lug studs (might aswell replace all 5 of them right now save time and trouble). I haven't done them on my supra yet, but usually use a punch and hammer to install and remove them(studs).

how much are they?

From Toyota, about $2.50-3.00 each. Aftermarket? Less probably.

They are 14.1mm knurl, 12mm x 1.5 thread, 40mm long.

i thought you had to take the hub off to get the lugs off? i have one broken off and i remember looking at replacing it. i couldnt without pulling the whole hub off... unless i was just stupid and missing something.

Its not that hard. If you have to heat them up to loosen them but I dont think you'll have to do that.

i remember there was no where for the stud to go through the back of the hub. so how do you get them out while still on the car?

if you aren't comfortable doing it yourself just take it to a garage (can't believe I am saying this because it's against what I believe). But it is cake for a garage because they have the right tools.
