If it's a broken lug that is press into the hub you have to hammer it out. Take a steel, or brass punch and try to hammer the lug out without hitting the hub. If it doesn't move use frozen bolt penetrant spray and lub the bolt,let seat for 15 minutes and then try to knock out the broken lug. If that doesn't work you will have to heat up the area on the hub with a propane torch ,be care not too over heat the hub assembly so the steel doesn't change colors.Then drift out the broken lug.
