You have posted in the right spot.

You'll need to take the wheel off and get the hub off as well. From there you should be able to press out the broken stud and in with the new stud. If you don't have a press but you can take off your hub I'd just take the hub to a shop and ask them to press out the broken one and press in the new one. That'll be much cheaper for you as a shop would charge you for all the labour to take off the hub, etc.

ok coo awsome thanks

 

you dont need a press. At work, all we do is bang the broken stud out with a hammer. To install the new stud is a bit tricky without an impact gun, but you can do it with a ratchet. You place the new stud into the hole in the hub, find some washers with a hole BIGGER then the stud itself, and put the lug nut on. As you tighten the lug nut, it will pull the stud into the hub. you NEED the washers for this, because the lug nut will bottom out against the hub before it is properly tightned, so try and find something that will space the lug from the hub.

 

I think the fronts are more difficult than the rears. On the front, the hub has to be separated, then new studs installed, but then the hub has to be pressed back together and sometimes the bearing gets trashed during this process. So some shops will advise replacing the wheel bearing while your there. On the rears, I have heard its a piece of cake, knock out, knock back in or use lug nuts to pull thru.
