The wheel studs go through the end of the axle and are very cheap u can get them from any auto parts store or dealer.
What the heck happened did u have loose lugs or what?
To remove the old ones just tap them out w/ a hammer.
To install u can get a tool or do it the hill-billy way and use your lug nut and some washers and draw the stud tight again.

Yeah, you can't find em in salvage yards here in Denver here. Funny how that is. Try Denver Bumper www.denverbumper.com or go with a beefy after-market one.
