Remove the center plastic dust cover after you get the caliper and rotor off.
In behind this you should find a nut. Remove the nut and destory it!!!!!
These nuts are one time use only. YOU MUST ALWAYS USE A NEW NUT, FRONT OR BACK!
Pull the hub off and replace the broken studs. Replace the hub. The center nut gets torqued I believe to 250ft/lbs. So you will need one hell of a good torque wrench to do this. Make sure you get it right the first time, if you back the new nut off even a little bit, it's garbage.
Replace the plastic cover, rotor caliper, wheel, and tighten your wheel studs in a cross hatch pattern to 90ft/lbs.
If you don't own a torque wrench...now would be a good time to get one.
Be careful, a new hub is a few hundred bucks!
