Jack up vehicle, remove tire. knock out old stud with a hammer and punch. put new stud in from back if need be. to draw it up tight.use a lug nut with something under it so when you tighten the nut it brings the stud into position. remove the nut you put on. and replace the tire. good-day! if the brakes and rotor are in the way. you will have to remove them to replace the wheel stud.
Real common problem on these vans. Over the years I have broken 7 removing the lug nut. I'm a retired Master ASE tech so I know how to R&I lug nuts.
On the front you must remove the wheel, brake caliper and rotor. It's an easy job...
Hopefully they fixed it 9 yrs ago via Carl's full answer

Yeah , it's a fairly simple repair, All the wheel studs must be replaced and lug nuts also.Closely examine the wheel or get competent tyre replacement company to double check for damage ! Remove the brake disc caliper and brake disc itself (usually 2 cross head screws) , tap off (gently) it may be stuck thru corrosion / rust etc , Broken studs can be knocked out(towards drive shaft ) of the hub assy with a suitable drift and hammer (splined into hub) . The studs are a servicable replacement part. Check all other wheel nuts as this is usually a result from poor fixing or wheel replacement recently .. Good luck
SOURCE: i need to replace a broken wheel stud but could
get a 4lb sledge hammer and wack the outer face of the drum in a criss cross pattern being careful not to hit too hard or hit lug nut studs, use some liquid wrench around the studs before hitting to dislodge rust bond

You will have to drill a hole in the middle of the bolt and use a large ease out. Put it in a drill and move slowly.

With adrift punch. bang out broken stud from huB. Will take some severe hammerering, so using a heavy short handle sledge is advised. Now place the new stud into the hub hole. Put the lug nut on , TIGHTEN ( preferablly with an air impact gun ) as tight as you can till the stud bottoms out. Then you're done. Hope this helps
