Default Replace Wheel Center Cap & Lug Nut Write-Up?

This is probably very simple and easy... But I am a true JK Newbie and am wondering if there is a write-up that explains how to remove a wheel, replace a center cap, replace one lug nut, and then put the wheel back on. Other then all the technicalities, does the wheel have to be rebalanced or anything? Or does it basically just come off and go right back on?

Unbolt the wheel, replace the cap, bolt it back on. No need to rebalance. Quite simple. Why just 1 lug nut?

It looks like I did some damage to the center cap wheeling and one of the lug nuts fell off when it happened or something. So the wheel just has a dented center cap and is missing one 1/2" lug nut.
