Geez I dunno... I ain't a mechanic and I sure as Hell would not go out and buy a specific tool unless I needed it, and since I don't know if you need it to do a wheel stud, I suggest asking a mechanic friend or someone else here who fixed a broken wheel stud personally.
I did however break a wheel stud once on my Teg a while back, Tuan as a matter of fact was the one who suggested since I didn't have tools at the time or a place to fix it that I go to a good garage.
So, I did and they fixed it in 30 minutes or so for $65. All done fixed good as new.
Good luck, and maybe a mechanic here could help you more clearly?
I'd use a roofing hammer or a kitchen meat mallot if it would get the job done. I'm not particular nor am I proud.

Exactly,
my my you are quite perceptive.
I never did say I knew, and I certainly wouldn't want to be a liar. I do my best to pass on accurate and correct information. That is one of my job duties here, to mod and help as much as possible. I would never intentionally pass on poor information, and I stay away from flame wars.
So, does he need a slide hammer? Anyone care to answer and list the correct procedure to changing a broken wheel stud?
get a hammer, and maybe a block of wood if you suck with aiming the hammer.
hammer the wheel stud out.
once it's out, put the new stud in. if your lug nuts are the closed top type, get a bunch of washers and stack them onto the bolt, then tighten the nut until it pulls the stud into place.
put wheel back on. check the stud again in like a week to make sure it's still seated properly.

I am not sure about all tegs, but my '93 does need to actually seperate the hub in order to get to the stud at all. the stud hits the hub and can't be just hammered out.
