Emmm, got 4 bolts for a reason mate.
You got a 998 so I'm assuming drums all round.
If you're on 10inch no spacer wheel then you can bash the old stud out the back of the flange (take wheel off, take drum off, hit old stud out using a punch). If you're on bit when then you might have to take the flange off as the back of the brake setup will get in the way.
New stud/nut avalibe from mini spares.

You'll need to remove the hub and flange, knock the busted stud out of the flange and fit a new one.

3 nuts isn't advisable but you'll get away with it if you limit your journeys and take it easy untill its fixed.
