They're not too hard to change, just make sure you have it stable when getting rid of the old one.
Personally I would pay the 9 bucks to the dealer - for the sake of $4 I wouldn't want to worry about the quality of the stud.
I bought my first vehicle in 1970 (a 1963 Mercury panel van) and I've owned more than 30 vehicles since then ... and against all odds I never once had to replace a wheel stud - I'm sure there are some tricks of the trade to make it easier, I just don't know what they are.
