UPDATE - I got two of the studs out.  I soaked the broken spline type studs on the one side with PB Blaster for about six hours or so.  The two studs both popped right out with some light tapping from a five pound sledge.  I am soaking one of the not broken studs now to see if it comes out as easy.  I should really replace them all since they keep breaking.

Unfortunately, the studs on the other side that are a different design are a different story.  Not coming loose at all.  They are not splined so they have a lot more contact with the hub to corrode in place.

The trick now is going to be to find a serrated stud that matches what I have now.  I bought a stud from Fleetpride this morning, but after getting it home I realize it isn't going to work as the shoulder isn't long enough.

Check a Euclid catalog along with vernier calipers. Besides lengths of various sections, you need to be sure splines are same diameter.

They seem to be the fairly standard 1.220 inch diameter.  The problem is trying to match up the length and position of the serrations along with the length of the unthreaded portion and the overall length of the stud.  I've been looking through catalogs for a bit now.

I stopped by C&J Bus Repair and they were very helpful and happened to have a handful of studs that matched almost exactly.  We were able to determine that they are a Euclid E-6033R/L.  They had seven right hand studs they gave me a decent deal on and I need to order the remaining studs.
