I accidently knocked one out while replacing an axle on the laser, and i was wondering what i need to do to get the piece that holds the lug nut bolts on off the spindle to replace the studs?

Getting the busted one out is easy. Just hit it with a hammer and drift or punch. Getting the new one in is easy if you flatten one side so that looking at the fat part is like looking at the letter "D". The flat part allows you to slide it right in without sacrificing the durability of the stud.

If it just popped out the back and wasn't hit sideways (possibly bending it), you can just slide it back in. When you torque down the lug nut, it will reseat itself. They are like big PEM studs, if you've ever worked with those.
