i broke off a lug nut stud the other day and im trying to get the stud back in(i have the rotor and caliper off) but i cant get it to go in. What do i do? Do i have to take out take out the axle?

Front or rear? You need to get to it from the back of the rotor.

Use a couple of old lugs to suck it in. Air wrench is your friend.

Yep, air wrench is your friend. We are talking 200+ ft-lbs of torque. If you can't get access to one, then borrow a 4 foot breaker bar, and crank that sum biatttch on there!

You will need to jack the car pretty dang high to make use of the huge breaker bar.

its in the back the thing i cant get the stud past is the wheel sensor for the ABS. What do i do about that? The lug won't go into the hole because of it
