AGREED. Just swing the caliper out of the way, and hang it securely with coat-hanger wire. Don't kink or stretch the brake lines, and you will be ok.

I faced a similar problem almost three months ago. There was a tire "sale" at Sears. Half-way thru the job, the mechanics informed me that TWO studs on the rear passenger side were almost stripped, and ONE stud on the rear driver side was stripped. They offered to replaced them ($25 per stud!!!), but I declined. When the repair was done, they said they rebolted only FOUR studs on each rear wheel. I immediately ordered new studs and lug nuts from FCP Groton, but never got around to replacing them. I have been driving this way since the end of May 2004.

This weekend, I plan to replace brake pads. I will replace studs at that time.

NOTE: The only risk is if you have a flat, and you discover that another stud has been stripped. Four out of five lug nuts is marginally safe, but three out of five is risky.
