Default Wheel stud

How tough is it to change a wheel stud on these cars, just snapped one off.

relatively easy, is it front or rears?

If it's the front just simply remove the wheel.
remove the 2 18 mm holding the caliper
remove the disc brake and i just punch out the stud.

rears.
same as above just that you have to find the little dip on the rear end for clearance to remove the stud so simply rotate the axle to where that dip on the rear end is and remove it.

hope this helps, i'm kind of in a hurry. sorry for the poor write up.

depending on how far down it broke you dont even have to remove the caliper and rotor

just hit it with a bfh and pull it through with a lugnut

I already changed it. It took me longer to clean up than to actually fix it.
