I replaced three the first few months. With anti-seize and taking the time to hand tighten the lugs 4+ turns, it hasn't happened again.
The repair is easy. Pull the wheel, dismount the brake caliper, use a zip tie or wire to suspend it to keep strain off of the brake line or shove the caliper someplace so it isn't hanging. If enough of the lug is left, than a good whack with a ballpeen should do it, otherwise, use a punch. Weasel the broken lug out and weasel the new lug in. Use a bunch of flat washers and a nut to set the lug. Easy-peasy.
