Wheel Stud Help!

I had one of the studs snap on my front hub. I need to replace it but I don't know the thread and length. I have to take everything apart to take it off so I really can't shop around. Any help would be great. Thanks!

12mm x1.75 pitch. Any ford dealer sells them. Mine were about $.50 each from the local dealership. There is only one catch. They have a new style of 12mm studs that are slightly longer than the originals they used in 97. If you have aftermarket wheels that use acorn lugs you need to make sure that the lug nuts aren't drawing down on the end of the stud instead of on the wheel. I had to go through all that since I have aftermarket wheels. There are 2 options, either get longer lug nuts or cut off the end of the stud (the end 1/4" has no threads on it so that can be cut off). If you've got factory wheels then you don't have to worry at all about the lug nuts.
