It looks like you can remove the caliper bracket and hammer the studs out, then draw new studs through?

I've been away.
I haven't had to replace a stud on these things. I'd assume studs should be easy to replace, the hubs don't unbolt. They are pressed into the bearing.
If you can get the old one out then great. If not, the backing plate is bolted to the spindle. Hopefully that gives enough room... If that doesn't help cut the old one off, then you could try and cut a small flat spot in the head of the new stud. That's worked good for me on on a few cars.

Well I got it finally. There is no access hole that I could find... That was what was puzzling to me. I realized that once the stud was driven out of the hole there would be a little bit more wiggle room, and I was able to massage the dust shield enough that if the stud was at approx 2 o'clock I could just barely finagle it out.
Got it all back together and now there is a slight metallic rubbing sound. Gotta be the dust shield or the brake disc squealer. It was dark and I wasn't dealing with it last night.
