Default Replace wheel lugs/wheel hub?

I'm new here, and brand new to the Honda scene as well. Feel free to flame me for inexperience or whatever you do for initiation around here

I just recently bought a 93 ex coupe, EJ1 as I believe it's called. It's got a 95 SI D16Z6 swap in it, and all around GSR brake conversions.

My question is about the wheel hub(?), I'm not sure if it's called exactly that. I'm looking to know what the official name of that part is, the part where the wheel bolts on to...whatever. The front right one has a broken bolt for the wheel to bolt on to, and I want to replace all 4 of them for when I replace the wheels.

I'm wondering if that's actually what the part is called, where I can buy replacements, and possibly where I can find a guide/how-to for doing it myself. Thanks for any help.

you need a press/puller to get that thing out. the studs themselves are cheap, maybe like 2 bucks each. its getting them out and in thats the hard part. you need specialty tools to do it. shouldn't be too hard, just time consuming

Where would one go about finding the tools you said were necessary? And is it called a press/puller, or is there some actual name I should ask for when looking for it?

I'm assuming that missing one of those studs is probably not a good thing that I should just let go right?

Thanks

if there is a advance auto parts in you area they have a "rent a tool" sys. go there, tell em your pulling a wheel hub off a honda in order to replace your wheel studs. they can get you part and they tool.
it isnt a hard job, i have had to do it on my civic as well. i work at advance so i know they will have it!! you can get a haynes manual there as well

Actually, nevermind lol. Right after posting that, I went to their site to use the store locater, and there's not even one store in the entire state of Washington

Perhaps other parts stores have a similar tool renting system? Any other suggestions?

Well, just go to your local auto parts store and tell them what you need to do and what they have to rent.

GL man!
