question is how do I remove the rear drum? just use a mallet and tap it till it comes off? then how do i replace stud?

Once the wheel is off, tapping it with a mallet is all you have to do. The wheel holds the drum on the car.

As for the stud for the lug nut, you could try checking the on-line manuals. http://2gnt.technologic.org/

Unfortunately, I do not remember how to change them, but I think it isn't supposed to be too diffucult.

What happened, did you break a wheel stud?

wo0t!

i broke one of mine too, good thing my sisters boyfriend worked for goodyear, he can do anything

yep... i twisted two off the drivers side rear and one off the passenger side rear when I put my Enkeis on...I guess the factory wheels had never been off the back and those stud pretty much seized up.

If you are lazy like me just go take it to a tire place and have them put new ones on for $20.

wo0t!
lazy alert, imo

everytime discount tire company removes my wheels they bust off a stud. Hell I am riding around AS you read this with one missing on my front passenger side. I just go to the local mechanic shop they have a deal with and pay nothing. They bill discount tire company when they fix them.

Put some antiseize on the studs and it should help it from stripping or breaking. I learned after I stripped 3 of my studs on one wheel because I forced the wheel on...
