One front passenger side wheel stud broke off. Don't know how, but it needs to be replaced. Any tips from the pros on the easiest way to DIY?

In order to repair this, the caliper and rotor will have to be removed. What's left of the stud can be punched out. Then the new stud can be pushed through and tightened with an uncovered lug nut. I would recommend using air tools for this.

Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

Or..........
You can take the rotor to an auto parts store that still does machine shop type work and have them press the new stud in. I believe most NAPA stores still do work.
Or...........
You can use a large punch and a BFH to "press" the new stud in.

A small clarification: The hub and bearing has the stud, not the rotor.

Yep, forgot about that.

I have no air tools. Can't I lubricate the stud and pull it through with a breaker bar, socket, and "helper" pipe on the breaker bar using some washers as a sandwich between the hub and lug nut?
Everything Marauder, LEDs & HI
You can certainly try...
Don't use any lube.

Yep...
No lube when you pound or screw them in.

By using air tools, this alleviates the hub from spinning when installing the new stud and lug nut.
Do you have a workbench with a vice?

Do you have a big C-clamp and a deep socket? You can press them in that way.
If you pull it through with a lug nut get a few washers and a new standard style lug nut. Put a dab of antisieze or grease between the washers. That prevents damage to the hub because the washer against it won't spin.

I appreciate the responses. I was going to help my son with this project since he now has my Marauder (I've got the 2011 5.0 Mustang). But he has to get it done quick so he priced around his area. He first called Firestone and was told that it would be under 1 hour - about $65 out the door. Called Firestone again 2 days later got another guy who said that the studs can't be replaced on the Marauder and that he needs a new hub - about $300 out the door. Called Ford dealer with a price of $100 labor and about $12/stud (they made of some precious mineral?). So he'll decide and let me know. But it doesn't look like it will be done in-house.

There has GOT to be another member here local to you..... I could do that in about 15 minutes in my driveway. A new stud should only be about $8, unless you need a new nut also.
Hammer and drift to punch out the old one, place the new one in lining up the locking groves, impact an open nut with washers until fully seated. Remove nut and washers and button things back up.
A six pack of Pilsner Urquell and you're done.
