Replacing rear wheel studs? Prices quotes?
Well I have a bunch of wheel studs broke on my rear left wheel and I was wondering how much it would probably cost me to get them replaced by a mechanic. Also I am down to try to replace them myself if someone has some kind of tutorial written up, but keep in mind that I have no air tools, i'm limited to common hand tools and a power drill.

You can get them replaced at a brake place like BrakeMax pretty cheaply (just make sure they know what they're doing, sometimes this can be the "JiffyLube of Brakes"), I think I got all of my studs replaced at one time for $150.

wheel studs
i replaced 1 rear wheel stud with out completely removing the axle i just unbolted the backing plate?? and hammered the old stud out and put the other one in and put a lug nut on it to keep it in place then i tightened the nut and pulled the lug into the whole and this was a few months ago and it still there and hasn't given me any problems during my 2 tire rotation since so my guess is its in for a while
the best part is the lug/stud is onlylike $2 max at any parts shop

Yeah, I kept breaking studs when I would change a tire, so I said screw it and had all of 4 corners replaced at one time. Haven't had a problem since. Probably overkill, but I LOVE overkill

This is easy. Buy the broken wheel studs, take the rear wheel off, take the drum off, pound out the broken stud with a big hammer, put in the new wheel studs from the rear and thread a lug nut on the stud and tighten it. You don't even have to take the axle out.

If you have 1 or 2 to do, you can often do it with the backing plate/bearing in place. That is if you can hammer out the broken stud then pull in the new one with some washers and a nut. For more than that, have the wheel bearing/backing plate pressed off then you can press out the old studs and press in new ones. Should not cost a lot more than what a wheel bearing replacement would cost.

How do I go about taking the drum off?

Make sure e-brake is off, then drum should slip off the brakes. If not, try backing off the rear brake adjuster screw. A rubber mallet might help break it loose. Otherwise, get a pair of M8-1.25x50mm long bolts and thread them into the two small holes in the face of the drum. Use anti-sieze on the threads and then s-l-o-w-l-y turn them in, maybe 1/4 - 1/2 turn per bolt, alternating between the two and they will jack the drum off of the rear brake shoes. Usually rusts around the center of the hub.
