Take the wheel and brake rotor off, pound what's left of the broken studs out the back get a few washers and a lug nut to pull the new ones through to thier proper position. Done.

How'd you break 2?

i broke 2 of my studs but they were on seperate wheels

if you have 2 broken studs and only 2 left on the wheel, i wouldnt recommend driving it alot until its fixed

The correct way is to put the hub in a press and press it out.

The incorrect way is to grind off a peice of the spindle till the lug post comes out. You'll see what I mean.

When you try to get the lugstud out, it pushes itself against the knuckle and you can't.

Take out the spindle, take it to a machine shop/shop with a press and have them press out the hub. That's the safest way.

This is the way I do it.

^ no...it's not. Try doing it that way if you want. You won't be able to get the lug stud past the knuckle.

that is the correct way. or just goto ur local junk yard and replace ur whole driver side would be the easiest thing to do to. Might be cheaper to get a whole new piece than taking it to a shop.

B serious is right.

You're right, I was thinking about my rear wheel drive vehicles. I use the washer method on the front rotor on my Chevy 2WD truck.
