autozone or O'riley's carry wheels studs and nuts behind the counter,

wheel studs are just hammered in from the back and have splines to keep them from turning,

I would do this,

take a wheel off,
back a lug nut off until the outer edge is just post the end of the stud. then hit the stud with a hammer to drive the stud out the back, (that is unless you have to pull an axle, I havent really paid attention to the exact design of the trailer axle)

now you have a lugnut and stud, go to the parts store with items in hand. around here they will just let you look through their stuff until you find a suitable match. if not a kind parts guy will do it for you.

drive them in from the back and tighten.

I have done several, even redrilled ford axles to chevy bolt pattern.


here is my ford rear end with the redrilled chevy bolt pattern.

Lucky it didn't happen on the freeway.. guess I'm assuming it was a low consequence event. Hope you are all okay.
