I also agree that the best way to get the broken stud base out is with a press. You can try to hammer it out, but be forewarned that you'd likely damage the wheel bearing by doing it that way. The wheel bearing isn't designed to take that type of lateral hammering force.

Yea I know about the offset and spacer thing, I dont do that but I have seen it done and was like wow, your going to die!
