broken wheel stud
I broke one of my rear wheel studs tightening them after taking my wheel off. I guess I am a little too strong... 
How easy is it to replace them and where can I get replacements? I think I need a torque wrench now.

You probably can get a replacement at you local Auto Zone or Advanced Auto. I don't think it is an unusual size. Just turn the hub to the spot where the lug can be knocked back and out. Use a punch and decent hammer, then pull the new one through by tightening down on a lug nut.

You have the emergency brake and backing plate in the way.
