Snapped a rear wheel stud off today. Twisted right off, barely even put some torgue on it! How much pain am I going to go through putting a new one in? Can it be replaced on the car?

I replaced one on the car a couple of years back. I have rear drums but it was not that bad. Getting the stud out is easy enough, just smack it out of there. Getting the new stud in there is a little difficult as you have to make sure that it goes in straight. I put the stud through from the back. Then I put a box end wrench over the stud from the other side as a spacer and then used an old lugnut to pull it through. <--- I think that makes sense... Definately use lugnuts or bolts for this process that you don't care about because I trashed two of them.
