-Doubt a ezy out will do it especially if it has been in there forever, would need a oxy to heat around the outside of the thread on the broken stud and use ezy out to remove it (heat will crack the rust if its frozen in there).
-if there is a little bit sticking out you can use a 6-8" stilsons or vice grips might work
-that or find some one on here with a spare hub u can buy... should get it cheap

Also you want to now replace all the wheel studs on the weel as they could have slight cracks in them and could fail at a later date....

Hope that helps

you need to pull the hub off completely and klnkock the stud out from the front to the back as they are pushed in from the back and i also would recoment replacing ALL the front studs (drivers and passengers side) it is a fairly easy job to do

cheers i think illc wat a new hubs worth

You dont need a new hub.
Just take the hub off, remove stud, replace stud and put it ack on.
It realy is a simple job, while you there you can check and repack your wheel bearings, CV and regrease that too and brake pads.

Just get a good manual (Should be the same as the later model hilux or 4 runner) and give it a go. A good manual will walk you through it and it's good practise for changing a CV when you need to as well.

as others have said, take the hub off and knock the studs out, replace with new studs. studs cost about $6-8 from toyota.

in saying that, you should be able to drive around for AGES on 5 studs still, particularly if the stud broke from not doing it up rather than from age (do they ever break from age??)
