Broke a bolt!

I had a mechanic changed my front brake pads, and somehow crossthreaded a bolt on the wheel. When I tried to take off the wheel today I broke on of the bolt with the nut in it.
Is it safe to drive with 4 bolts instead of 5?
Does any knows how much the Acura dealer replace it for? or
Where do I get just the bolt to replace it?
WORRY!

It should be safe. I had the same problem on my old Sable. Eventually I changed it, but there were no problems. See if you can get a compressor next time.

It's definitely safe to have 4 nuts on. However, it might cost you $$ if the stud that snapped is part of the hub bearing, you need to replace the whole unit. Happened to my 88 LX-i before.

Studs and lugnuts are pretty cheap, a couple of dollars each at most...I would guess the Dealer would charge about $50 or so...call around and ask how much they want.
