^^ what he said. Any lathe or tyre shop can do this for you. I broke mine sometime ago. The take a wedge shaped piece of metal, and force screw it into place on the hub. Simple really

Try U&H Tyre service on Malay Street Slave Island, they usually have the wheel studs.

Thanks I went to U&H near Slave island station and got it fixed. Its very simple as said and not more than 15mts. I took more than that to brake it :-)

thanks all again for support and guidance to pick it right.

yeah. had a heart attack when i broke mine also.

OP now that you got it fixed would you be kind enough to tell us how you broke a wheel stud while tightening. Unless the stud had previously been put under undue stress, it is very unlikely for an average person (80kg) to brake one using a standard wheel brace.
