    Sorry man, but your GF will never listen to you again. :)

    12mm stud 1.5 pitch. You will need to get this from the dealership if you can't find the correct length at an autoparts store. You can just replace them with a set from ARP. I also found this set on Ebay. I know nothing about them other than they are longer which probably will not work but you can message him to see if they have OEM lengths. These would only be good if they hardened and you want to replace the whole set.

    Here are the instructions:

    Quick question. Is there enough room to pull a lug stud from the rear hub? I took a gander at it yesterday (broke a lug stud) and I don't see how I can remove the stud without removing the entire rear hub (ebrake seems to be in the way and there is no cut out hole to pop in/out the studs). It looks pretty tight. Maybe I'm missing something.

    Obviously I can get the broken one out but I can almost guarantee I'll need a hub puller since my tC has seen a lot of environment (rust will surely have melded itself to the assembly). I don't want to resort to the 'tool of the pikey (BF hammer)' so this can save me a lot of time and headache.

    Thanks...

    I have looked at the link. I have also looked at the rear hub with the nice and tight ebrake blocking the entire assembly. I was hoping for someone to confirm if it does indeed fit through without disassembling everything.

    From the photos it looks like it can but when you look at it you are left wondering if it will fit. Time is tight since I have to pick up my wife by 3pm and can't be stuck fixing this ("happy wife...happy life...").

    I'm going to check now (posted in the morning and I couldn't look at it during morning hours) but was hoping that someone can indeed confirm the stock studs will fit. I guess I'll be the one to report...

    ***EDIT***
    The stock lug studs will fit through the ebrake pads. Thanks for the tech references!
