Default Lug studs

About a week ago i took my car to the shop cause my tie rod snaped. After the guy fixed it i had a flat and when i went to change it, the lug nuts had been striped on so two of them broke off. So i just quit. after i got it towed home i broke off the other two and started to take them out like my dad said. but you cant just hammer them out if someone knows how to do this please tell me.

never changed them on a civic, but i believe they're welded in (at least tacked)

Well you can get them out just a little with the hammer but the hub is to close to what ever is holding the hub on. if you can understand what i just said.

obviously the guy at the shop who replaced your tie rod end, damaged them when taking the wheel off.

bring it back and make them fix it

otherwise, you need to remove the hub in order to replace the wheel studs

If you do it yourself, make sure that you have a c-clamp or a vise to press the new ones in with.
