Default Messed up wheel studs ...need some help for quick decision for the night

Wheel studs have bad threads and some studs were broken off. 95' Z28....Are the steps still the same...???

Hammer out old studs after removing the brake hammer etc. and put new studs in? ..... are the steps that simple?

Does discount tire do this kind of work? and how much would they charge?

We have managed to get 2 lugnuts on each of the back two wheels w/ One lugnut on each wheel tightened down but lacks a few threads to seat on the wheel...THINK ITS SAFE ENOUGH TO DRIVE TO about a mile to discout in the morning?

Thanks

I had a wheel stud break on my Mustang recently. Hammered it out went to the local Ford dealership and bought a new one then hammered it back in. As simple as that.

discount tire doesnt replace wheel studs

the size you need is 12 x 1.50, any local autoparts place will have them, all you need to install them is a rachet and sockets to get brakes off, a lugwrench, and a hammer
