Should be a pressed in wheel stud, remove hub and have old one pressed out or you can do it the primitive way, by double nutting the old stud and striking it with a hammer to pound it out, if threads are bad then just strike the stud by itself , then replace new stud in opposite fashion...
Remove wheel and with a small hand held sledge or good hammer install the nut until flush with the stud and pound it out and replace and again draw the new stud by tightening it snugly into place by the lug nut and remove lug nut and reinstall tire making sure the back side of new stud is properly seated

I don't have a pic but there is usually not enough room to slide the stud out and in. However, we don't completely remove the hub assembly. On the back of the knuckle (item that the hub is installed into) there are 3 or 4 bolts that hold the hub. Remove these out about 1/2 an inch and you can slide the hub out just far enough to get the studs in and out. On some the outer cv joint is kind of in the way and you may need to remove the axle nut and push the axle in slightly in order to get a socket on the hub bolts. There isn't really any special tools needed but you have to make sure the new stud is fully installed (seated) otherwise the lug nut could back off. Hope this helps.

With adrift punch. bang out broken stud from huB. Will take some severe hammerering, so using a heavy short handle sledge is advised. Now place the new stud into the hub hole. Put the lug nut on , TIGHTEN ( preferablly with an air impact gun ) as tight as you can till the stud bottoms out. Then you're done. Hope this helps

Yeah , it's a fairly simple repair, All the wheel studs must be replaced and lug nuts also.Closely examine the wheel or get competent tyre replacement company to double check for damage ! Remove the brake disc caliper and brake disc itself (usually 2 cross head screws) , tap off (gently) it may be stuck thru corrosion / rust etc , Broken studs can be knocked out(towards drive shaft ) of the hub assy with a suitable drift and hammer (splined into hub) . The studs are a servicable replacement part. Check all other wheel nuts as this is usually a result from poor fixing or wheel replacement recently .. Good luck

If you can knock the old one out, get the new one in position, and do not mind destroying a wheel nut or two, I once watched a tire technician use a wheel nut , some washers, and an air gun with socket to pull the stud into position with air pressure.
