Default Broken Hub Studs

I was driving in my 03 Neon and i hit a nasty pothole with my 17 inch rims and the damage wasnt what i wanted to see. I bent both of my right side rims and one tire was cut and on top of that 4 of my right rear hub studs broke, i was curious if anyone could tell me what i should do to replace these, should i buy a new hub, take the hub apart and replace the studs or what?

IF you broke 4 studs, that was one real nasty pot-hole. You can get them at autozone for like 99 cents a piece. just hammer the old ones out and then hammer the new ones in. I would check for more damage though, that sounds like you hit pretty hard.

Sorry, I thought that was a god spoken given after a pot hole like that, but you are right, lol
