wheel studs can be replaced by very easily I got mine from pep boys for
about $2 something a piece(I would suggest replacing all six while you have
the wheel off)
take off your wheel and using a hammer pound out the old studs
install your new studs from the rear and using some washers for a shim
tighten with a wrench till they are pulled up tight .
thetas it .
