Broken Studs how to remove hub?

I would be breaking out the sledge hammer.

Tune in next week when we teach this guy how to adjust his carburetor with a chainsaw.

I think I'd try an air chisel and some penetrant oil between the drum and what's left of the wheel, working my way around the outside.

Not a bad choice... With the mess that the OP is working with some some form of BFSI is going to be needed.... (BFSI = Brute Force & Sheer Ignorance)

I'm thinking the rapid impacts may even help jar the drum loose from the axle flange.

If that brake drum is not coming off, you may have a serious 'lip' on the braking surface inside the drum. This will actually prevent you from pulling the drum off also. If there is no evidence of the lock washers as described by Jerry above, then you may have to slacken the parking brake cable right off.
If that doesn't work, and the lock washers are present, you might have to carefully drill the two studs out with the lock washers. I say two, as I have only ever seen two in place before....I might be wrong here, but I am sure not all studs have a locking washer.

The studs will press out of the axle once it is removed from the housing, so don't fret too much about damaging the studs any further....they need replacing anyway.

Get a metal cutting wheel on a 4" grinder and finish cutting that old wheel off there and out of the way. You can get some business done after that.

Left handed studs???

They were left hand thread. Turn them the other way.
