What part of the hub broke?
Hubs are really easy to service and swap parts on. Most specialist tool you'll need is a pair of circlip pliers, 5 bucks from Supercheap.

Assuming you mean the free wheeling hub, and assuming its a manual one, undo the 5 outer screws (could be screws, small bolts, or even hex bolts), pull off the outer end of the hub. Clean the grease from inside the hub housing, and locate the circlip about 5-10mm in from end of inner axle. Remove circlip. Undo 5 large hex head bolts holding body of hub the disk rotor, remove hub body. Installation is reverse proceedure, except you will need some way of keeping the inner axle from sliding into the hub body when reinstalling circlip. There should be a small hole in the end of the axle. I insert a screwdriver into the hole, and lever the axle out. Make sure you use sealant on the hub body flange/disk rotor and the outer hub/main hub body mating surfaces.
