I broke 2 lug studs on the front 10 bolt in my chevy. How do you replace them? Is this something I can do on my own relativly easy or would I be better off dropping it off at a shop with the right tools?

I;ve never done this before so any help would be awesome
 
You'll have to take the hub off. It's not that hard, but a little intimadating if you've never done it before.

Pull the lockout, take off brake calliper, pull the hub locknuts (pay attention how they come apart) and the hub/brake rotor will pull off. Bang out the old studs, and knock in the new ones with a hammer.

You'll need the hub socket, you can get them at the parts store, may want to get a haynes manual as well.
