Where can I find the tool to pull through wheel studs? I saw the shop guy using a nut type thing that in conjunction with his air gun, it pulled the stud through..

What's that tool called and where can I get one - preferably rent..?

You can also use a press, or if you don't have access to air tools, you can use a very strong ratchet (preferably with a warranty since you'll break it,) and a breaker bar to draw the stud in as far as you can. You just use an extra lugnut, and as said above, put a few washers on the stud, then the lugnut, and tighten the crap out of it while watching the head of the stud to see how close it is to being flush. Depending on which replacement stud you get, you may need to use a dremel to grind the head down a tad to fit it through the back.

I did this and drove it around for a few hundred miles before I got my 60 gal air compressor and air tools to finish the job.
