What vehicle?
Although fitting a replacement is much the same regardless of vehicle.
First you need to work out if there is enough room between the hub and hub carrier to get the new stud in, as studs are fitted before the hub is pressed onto the bearing.
If the stud is just a couple of mm too long, it is possible to grind a little bit off, but no more than 2 or 3 threads.
You need to remove the broken stud, which is easily done by a punch and hammer.
The new stud (cut down if needed) is then passed in from the back, and the nut used to draw the stud into place by tightening a nut onto the threads, you may need some washers to pack between the nut and hub.
You can buy replacement studs on eBay.
Really? only punching I can remove the broken stund?

How you did it?I did it on the TD4 last year
It is an easy cheap fix tbh
Put pictures on the thread.There is no space between the cube and the support!!! the screw does not fit. Do I have to remove the hub? how? Thank you.
no, the transmission comes out but the hub is still in placeDoes the hub not come off if you remove the big hub nut ?
That hub in the photo is not the same... It looks like I'll have to remove the hub from the bearing but I don't have any tools for that and I'm afraid of damaging the bearing. Thank you very much for your support.or remove the hub bearing assembly from the carrier (4 bolts ?), and then there should be plenty of room to replace the stud ?

Or just remove the hub section with the studs. https://www.landroverblogger.com/how-to-replace-a-wheel-bearing-on-a-freelander
Oh! thank you very much!!!!Could you drill a hole in the drum backing plate to pass the new stud through?
- remove old stud
- mark centre of new hole through old stud hole onto backing plate
- drill pilot hole through backing plate, going through stud hole using long drill bit
- enlarge hole in backing plate by drilling from inboard side
- push stud into hole in hub through hole in backing plate
- place socket / pipeover stud threads protruding from hib
- put wheel nut on stud threads after socket and tighten nut to pull stud into position
- plug hole in backing plate with blanking grommit
- reassemble brakes as usual
- celebrate job donw with a beer and toast that beer to the good health of a certain scottish idiot who came up with the procedure to fix your car
