Basically, you have to remove the wheel hub to change the studs.
When the car is on the ground:
-remove the hub cap
-unstake the big bolt holding the hub
-loosen the big bolt holding the hub (might be 24mm, the big one right in the center)
-loosen lug nuts
-put the front of the car on jack stands
-remove lug nuts and wheel
-remove brake caliper (hang it by a bungie)
-remove brake disc
-remove 24mm bolt
-use gear puller to remove the hub
-replace studs
-assembly is reverse
-with car back on ground: torque the 24mm bolt to spec (look it up), stake the 24mm bolt, and torque lugs to spec.
