You can get wheel studs at NAPA too,..
I always put anti-seize on the lugs and nuts that I plan to take on and off if I need to like wheels, some suspension parts etc etc,,...especially for exhaust bolts as that gets taken off a lot (for me
) and those can get pretty rusty/corroded.
Sorry to hear on the mishap...

they are easy to put on...well easy for me to say it but you dont need that many tools, if you use your own wheel nut you can actually pull it foward into place, a little bagging to take it out but nothing a hamer cant do

Tip - you can also use an air duster to freeze the bolts to make them contract enough to come out and to get the new ones in. Just hold the can upside down Burn Notice style.
Don't shoot your hand or your *****.

OK well never again man...that's probably how you broke them. 90 lb-ft is surprisingly light when you are doing it with a big bar.
