Here's the background:

After a good bit of time at a local tire shop, I noticed that two of my studs on my front passenger hub were loose. They are loose and spin freely when the wheel is off, but if they are pulled on slightly when impacting the lugs on, they will "catch" and tighten up the wheel without spinning.

It is annoying and I'm figuring that the star/points on the stud that hold it still in the hub are stripped out. So I am at work, thinking without my manual......

What is involved in swapping out a stud? Are there any tools that I'm gonna need to get?

 

Front wheel studs are a pain in the ***.
You'll need to remove the front wheel, rotor and caliper (just hang it off to the side; you don't actually need to remove the brake line.)
If the studs are broken, then you can tap it out easily; getting the new stud in, is the hard part, though.
You'll either have to disassemble the hub (i.e., press it out), or you'll have to notch it, in order to get the right amount of clearance to wiggle the new stud in; once you get there, you'll see what I'm talking about.
You can us a dremel, with a blade attachment, to notch the hub.
