u mean the wheel studs?
if so then should be easy,
remove the caliper, remove the rotor, get a hammer and bang out the broken ones, slide in the new ones, put some washers on it and torque them down

i have only 1 hand so its hard to type in detail

I had 3 of them break up on me on the freeway in Indiana, i drove 150+ miles to Dearborn, Mi with only 2 wheel studs. I got it fixed for 40 at local shop, parts and labor.
