| Those parts would be called Wheel studs. What kind of truck? Probably the easiest way to go about this is to first ask if you have any air tools?
If so then you can buy the studs at almost any parts store. You will then have to remove the brake drum and then you can either use a air hammer to pop all the broken studs out assuming there is room. If not the axle may have to be removed to get them out. Usually not the case though. You will also want to purchase new lug nuts and i would suggest buying two extra of each just in case. Then install the new studs and use one of the new lug nut with a impact gun to pull the new stud all the way into the hub and get it seated completely checking your progress as you go so you do not break the new studs off. If you do not have the tools for this then you will most likely have to take the truck into the shop to be repaired.

| The studs are pressed into the axle itself. Its *much* cheaper and easier to just do it while its in the truck. If you replace the whole axle, you've got to remove all the guts of the rear end, and that gets pricey and difficult.
If you don't have air, have it towed into a shop where they can do it safely. | |

| Well, for a dealer, figure about an hour and a half of labor (I'm guessing) at $80 or more an hour. Then I'd estimate high at about $10 per stud (they're heavy duty parts), so $50 more bucks there. Plus the shop supplies and environmental fees (ripoff, but its part of life), so figure about $200-250.
If you trust places like Midas or a reputable tire shop, they could probably do it much cheaper. | |
