My buddy came over today with a front tire problem, it sounded like it was a bout to fall off. i took the tire off and he some how broke a stud and the lug and the broken stud was rolling around in there. He didnt score up his rotor, thank god, but i was wondering is it pretty simple to change em. Are they just reverse threaded from the other side?
TIA

if they're anything like my Trans Am... they're just pressed in

I put longer studs in my front hubs 2 weeks ago (putting longer studs in the rear too but that requires pulling the axles)

I just gave a few good whacks w/a hammer and they popped right out... then you put the new one in, and use a nut ( i used a spare lugnut) to press the stud back in (takes alot of pressure, i used about 1.5" of washers then the lugnut, tightened down till they fit in all the way... the lug nuts are splined)
