broken wheel stud

Hi everyone, ah yes the joys of owning an old car. As it is I have everything but the time to do the t-bird disc swap.
but it looks like I will have to do it sooner then later.
I snaped two front brake studs today and am wodering if they can be pressed out and new ones installed or will iI need a new drum aand or hub? 64 galaxie.

Easy replacment. Just get a couple studs. Make sure the the holes weren't reamed out, though.

The broken studs will beat out with a hammer and punch. Not really a nasty deal....
