    If a bolt is broken does that mean I need to get a new hub or just the bolts?

    Good morning and welcome to the technical forum. If a wheel stud is broken, it can usually be replaced without having to replace the entire hub. I'd recommend you pull the hub, And attempt to drive out the broken stud. Then, take it to a parts store for replacement. Make sure you take one of the lug nuts with you also in order to make sure the threads match up. If you can't get the stud out of the hub, take it to a machine shop and they can press it out. A machine shop would also be able to press a new stud in.

      The bolt(s) can be pressed out and replaced . . . but, you need to understand why one or more broke. This could be an indication of a more significant problem.

          Rob is correct - why is it broken? Were you changing a tire? Have you had tire work done recently? Studs just don't break unless over torqued. I wold have all the studs replaced on that wheel just to be safe and try to find out why it broke.
