stripped the thread on a lug, how much to replace?

anybody know how much does it cost to replace one lug? the rear driver side wheel has one lug with stripped thread and the nut won't go on anymore. does autozone sell lugs? or should i take it to a tire place?

how much would a tire center charge? i don't suppose a lug would cost more than a few dollars. can't i just take the wheel and rotor off, pound out the old one and insert new one?

It's easy. Just hammer the old one out after u take the caliper/ rotor off. Find a nut that is the correct thread/pitch, and insert the new stud through the back, and press it in by turning the nut on the stud from the other side.

my shop charged me $5 for the new lug and did the work for free cause i was getting my rotors replaced. im thinking that a shop would charge you max $15.
