Now my question, which could prolly be answered by me simply looking, is if the wheel stud can be punched out or if I have to get it welded back on, or replace the wheel hub. I thought I'd ask, so I can mentally prepare myself for what needs to be done tomorrow. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am pretty sure that you can take the broken stud out and replace it. I think you will need a press or a bottle jack and a block of wood. I always hear of people swapping there studs out for better quality ones, like skunk2 as well as making them longer so they can place a spacer and make it look like there wheels are the perfect off-set. Hope that helps. Cheers.
