Default So, I broke a wheel stud today.

I was in the process of changing all my brake pads and on the last wheel, I broke one of the studs off while trying to remove it. I knew it was inevitable considering how often my wheels are taken off and put back on.

I would really like to do this myself, if possible, because I don't want to pay a shop to do something I may be able to do myself. Is it possible without any special tools? If I have to take it to a shop, how much would it cost?

It is only one stud on the back drivers side wheel, so I don't think it would be that hard to do. I searched and found a writeup for a 4th gen civic but I doubt the procedure would be the same for the integra. As long as I can get the stud pounded out and then get the new one in without any hassles, it should be easily doable.

I find it very funny as I just snapped my girlfriend's stud on her 92 Pontiac Sunbird about 2 weeks earlier while checking her brake pads.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
