    the front ones take more time... and prolly take more money... i crossthreaded mine so i had to change mine... front ones too...

    here's what you do...
    once wheels are off, turn the wheel out so you can get easy access to the caliper... there are 2 bolts holding the caliper on to the car... take those out... they are pretty hard... i had to use a pipe on my wrench to get more leverage...once off, i tied the rotor on to the caliper so i dont have to slip the caliper off of the rotor... use a wire tie to tie the caliper on the springs to prevent damage to the brake line...(its hard to put back after its taken out...) once out, simply hammer out the old stud... then put the new one in... use an open end nut to tighten in the new one... then put everything back in reverse order... i suggest spray the 2 bolts holding the caliper with wd40 or something to loosen it up...

    hope it helps man...

    deff get it fix ASAP!!!
    its very dangerous to drive around with only 3 bolts to hold the wheel
    to the hub...

    dont take the risk!

    and my friend with his VW get it fixed for $50 at a local shop
    its the front one also
