I recently broke off my lugs into my lug nut I was wondering can I replace the lugs instead of the whole bearing?

You can replace just the studs. Sometimes it works and sometimes you break more stuff in the process.

So what you think the best thing for me to do? I just need the studs for right now cause I'm on a little budjet. And do you think any tire store thatz around could do the job for me for a low price?

You can try calling up a local tire store to see if they'll do it for you. Also check with an independent mechanic. Most of those chain service places suck.

ok what if I can do it myself? Is it simple just the turn of a stud?

I think when I did it, I had to take my hub off to replace them. I had to pound them out with a hammer. This was also 5-6 years ago too, so i'm not quite postive.

it can be easy, and it can be hard. i had a hard time replacing them on a lumina, and eventually tapped the one that had gone bad, and made a custom application for that stud/lug combo

What you can do is thread a nut alog with some washers onto the stud. Torque down onto the nut to pull the stud into the hub. Assuming your studs are a standard knurl-style. It takes some muscle. This will probably require pulling the hub-assembly off the car.
