4 out of 5 front wheel studs broken into half how can i fix it,thank u very much for your help.

Remove the wheel, remove the brake caliper, and rotor. Rotate the hub assembly to gain clearance for a new stud and punch out the old with a punch or by hitting on the end with a hammer. Insert the new stud and put a smooth washer on it and run a lug nut on it backwards and tighten until head of stud is flush with the hub. repeat until all are replaced. It will be easier if you put a little lube on the washer and nut. Reinstall the rotor and caliper.
Now here is where the fun begins. Torque all the nuts with a torque wrench, 65-75 pounds. This is important on steel wheels to keep from warping the rotor, and on alloy wheels because if they come loose they will snap all your wheel lugs. After you run a few miles, retorque and your problem will be solved.
