Hello,

To replace rear wheel studs on your vehicle is not too difficult.
You will need to safely raise the vehicle at the rear, remove the wheel.
Next release the handbrake and remove the brake drum so that you can access the wheel hub.
Take a hammer and knock the broken wheel stud out.
Next insert the new stud, space the thread and use the wheel nut to pull in the new stud.
Reinstall the brake drum and wheel.
