Need to replace front wheel studs - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I have one broken and one stripped stud on my right front wheel. How difficult is it to replace them and what is involved?

Unmount the rotor, press out the old stud with a large socket and C clamp, insert the new one through the back, slip a stack of washers on the front and use the lug nut to pull it all the way through.

Sounds easy enough. Where can I buy wheel studs? Does Schucks stock them?

Pretty much any parts store should have them or at least be able to get them.

I could not get mine out ....so I took the rotor up to PepBoys and had them press it out and press a new one in....$5

I broke one of my front studs taking off a lug nut. It was really easy to change. I hit it with a hammer and it popped right out. I though I was gonna have to beat it out, but it came right out on the first hit. Installation of a new one was almost as easy. I simply tapped it in with a hammer making sure that it went in really straight.
