as long as the stud will come out the back of the hub, you should be able to install the new one.

Use a hammer to drive out the broken one, slip the new one into the hole.

Using a sacrificial lug nut and several 1/2" washers, pull the new stud into the hub, an impact gun helps lots, no effort is required, when the back of the stud is against the hub, you're done. (sometimes the lug nuts are ruined when doing it this way)

As long as there is enough room to get it in there, worst case is pulling the spindle and having the hub pressed out of the bearing, the stud installed and a new bearing pressed into the spindle, and the hub pressed back into the bearing.
