broke a stud changing tires/brakes last week so now i'm running on 4 of 5 lugs.
Is this a DIY job, or would it be best left to the service dept to replace the stud?

 

Its DIY if you have the tools and mechanical abilities.

 

i'm a stud, and i'm broke...


shouldnt be a difficult job, you can probably do it!

what would be the proper tools?
just hammer the busted one out and hammer a new one in? or would it be better to use a press to get them in/out?

You don't have to take the knuckle off to get the new stud in.

Just use an air hammer and get the old stud out. Take the rotor off. Take the new stud, go to a bench grinder and shave off a flat spot on the back of the new stud. Now hammer it in from the rear (sounds bad). Put the rotor back on. Good to go.

That's what i did

 

do it yourself man its cheaper, plus if you have mechanical skillz then thats a even plus, cause it will take you 3 times as fast than being a rookie.
