We have a DIY on replacing broken studs in the DIY section, check it out. I did my back ones before, it was really easy, I just poped the old one out and put the new one in.

the DIY has alittle more harder for the fronts but the rears are really easy!
if you got alittle grinder and follow the DIY you can do well...... either way if you drive the car keep it slow till it gets fixed!

um...if possible don't drive it at all...you only have 2 lugs holding your damn wheels on! Swapping studs isn't a big deal though. The last stud replacement I did was on a semi....take of the wheels, the hub (which is oil filled, with 2 roller bearings) then beat the tar outta them to get them out.. Honda's are pretty easy in comparason

if they are on the front honestly that is worse than on the rear. the worst part is taking the hub off for that the easiest way is to use a hub puller which you can get from like auto zone or kragen with their loaner tool program. then ya just pound the old ones out and put the new ones in. if you really don't feel comfortable doing it then take it to a tire shop and they should be able to do it no problem and they shouldn't charge TOO much to do it
