Brake Drum bolts

Not sure if I called them the right name, but the bolts that hold on the wheels (which the lug nuts tighten on) on the right rear wheel. I was loosening the lug nuts to change the tire (after a flat) and I ended up shearing off the lug nuts, with a piece of the bolt. Does any one know how to replace the bolt?

They are called studs and they are pressed into the hub. You can usually knock the broken piece out with a punch and a hammer. These usually break from over tightening. You should use a torque wrench when you tighten these as uneven tightening can affect the brake disc run out. Usually the over tightening happens when you get new tires or your tires rotated and the guy with the air wrench doesn't set the torque to the right value.
