Are you sure you can't replace the broken Stud??? You might try taking the rotor disk to you local Automotive Machine shop. I could be mistaken, but aren't those studs just pressed in from the back? I haven't looked in a while, but it is worth checking into. If the studs are replacable, the cost will be nothing compared to the price of a new rotor.

To answer your question, you can replace 1 disk at a time if you wish. They are independent of each other.
