I just took my tires off and in the process one of my lugs stripped on the way out (no idea how) anyways it happened and now the stud is broken off. its still stuck in the end of the lug. I need to replace the stud but I don't know how to or where to get another. any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

The lug nut stripped the wheel stud, and the wheel stud is now broken off, right? If so, you should be able to get a hammer and punch and just drive it through the back. Just go to you local parts store and pick up a new stud (although I recommend replacing them all at the same time). To put them in, just slide it through the hole, so the threaded side comes at you and then press/hammer it in until it is fully seated. Should be no big deal.

get the stud and a new nut to match it and some washers.
put the stud in from the back and use the nut flat side to the axle and washers to pull the stud out and make sure it is bottomed on the inside.

I don't know how to get to it. I'm sure i have to take the caliper off but what else do I have to do? I really haven't had the time to tear into it yet so i figured I'd ask what i'm getting myself into. I was also wondering where to get the studs other than a dealership. any sites you know about?
Thanks,
Dan

Try Napa, they have or can order almost anything drivetrain related.
I'm not sure if the splash shield for the rotor can be removed without dissassembling the bearing hub. If it can you should be able to put new studs in with just the caliper and bracket removed.

Or you could try Autozone or Advanced Auto Parts.If none of these work out there's always E Bay.
