I have a 1999 Toyota Camry that has 2 broken off wheel studs on the front driver's side wheel. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to replace them (Would the entire hub have to be removed to get the studs pressed in/out). Would this be something the home mechanic should tackle or would it be better to have a professional auto shop handle it? Thanks for the help.

The studs are just pressed in place from the back side of the hub flange. If there is enough clearance to back the stud out, then you can replace them without having to remove the hub. You may have to spin the flange a little bit to get the stud to a place with enough clearance on the back side.
