    Hi
    are you saying that one of the wheel studs have broken?

    They are a pressfit from the rear. you will need to press it out from the front (road side) and press a new one in from the rear (axle side). Lots of instructional vids online to diy

    You're right, it's a wheel stud. I always forget the proper terms. My main concern is that I'm not entirely sure how to work with these real wheels and their drum breaks in a fast and easy way. The disc brake assembly on the front-end is much more familiar to me.

    The wheel studs can be found on rockauto. Drum brakes aren't all that complicated, they are just tedious to work with. If you need any help just ask.
