how to replace tire stud

I have a 2001 and was replacing the tires when I broke a stud off.

Can anyone tell me how to go about replacing the stud? I also have a second one on that same wheel that will probably need to be replaced at the same time.

On a related note, what should I torque these to? It appears that the previous owner just went too tight.
  • On some wheels they are press fit bolts and can be pounded out and replaced. Not sure what you have without looking.
  • Most you can just drive in from the back with a hammer, or a couple washers and an old nut put on backwards and an impact wrench and pull them thru from the front.
    Not knowing anything about what you have no one would know the torque.
