Default Broken Lug Retraction uh-oh

I can't make this stuff up.

Have not driven the SRT for a few months for different reasons and decided to work on it today. Everything is going well but as I was doing a test drive I heard a clicking from the back like a nail in the tire. As I am taking the rear wheel off a lug snaps (appeared to be loose beforehand as if about to break). As I am beginning to extract the broken lug it actually pushes through the hole and appears to be behind the rotor somewhere. There is a plate or something back there too and I can't see a way to get in there to get the broken piece. I hope I explained it well enough. Any ideas? Do I have to remove the rotor? Thanks

I would think it is sitting in the parking brake area. If you remove the rotor it will probably just fall out.

That was it. Got the rotor off and it fell right out. All good. Just need to buy a new lug. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer on the lugs Doc. I have Forgestar wheels so I use different lugs. I contacted the vendor I bought the wheels from to get some more.
