One way I can think of is to thread a nut onto the stud (if there is any left sticking out) and then thread another up against the other nut. Then "loosen" the nut on the inside and hold the nut on the outside with another wrench. You can back the stud out and replace it with a new one at that point.

i dont understand cuz when i took the tire off i guess you have to take the brake calibur off to get to the lug nut studs or can u just take them off with out doing that/

Honestly man, it sounds like you should really consider investing in a Hayne's manual...It's really not too hard to replace though.

This is how. you don't need to take the caliper/rotor off. Just take the tire off and you have full access to backing out the stud.

You don't need to. You do it from the front (again if there is any part of the stud that is still sticking out).
