Snapped 2 studs off!!!
I went to remove the stock wheels and put on my TT's. I got to the last wheel, drivers rear, and snapped 2 studs off, breaking them in half, so i'm rolling on 3 as of right now. Napa is half a mile away
Can i just go to napa and pick up these studs and are they easy to replace? The size?
Thanks

Very easy to change. Especially if you have an air gun. Call first to make sure they have it in stock. Just order ones for the sc rear. I would also order the oem style lug nuts. And get a couple extra open end lug nuts for when you pull the new studs through.
Pretty simple procedure.
Jack up.
Release emergency brakes.
Remove complete caliper.
Remove rotor.
Hammer out the broken studs.
Pull new studs through using the open ended lug nuts and some washers or spacer in between.
And reinstall everything.
P.s. You might have to hit the rotor with a hammer or mallet to get it loose. Just don't hit the contact surface.

you got a point there. I've always knock them out with the hammer as I usually get it off in one shot. I've done quite a bit of this in the past and haven't tought about damaging the bearing. Thats a pretty big oversite on my part i guess. hhhmmmm I know I tried with a c-clamp in the past but there is just no room other than if you remove the whole hub apart from the knuckle.

And when it comes to brake shoe, it's a pain in the butt.
I hate doing the rears.

and what's a good price range for a good torque wrench? 1st time removing the wheels here, since i just got her not too long ago.

I've changed many studs in the rear of my sc and I never had to partially release the brake shoes. All I ever did was pull the ebrake down. There is enough room in there to get the stud in.
It has taken me about 15-20 minutes to change a stud and most of the time is waiting for my crappy compressor to fill up.
A torque wrench is a great investment.

Any torque wrench will do as long as it works. I bought a 1/2" generic from the tool truck for $140 and these are the exact same torque wrenches as the snap on ones but doesnt have the Snap ON on it.
