2003 Hyundai Elantra front stud broke off, what do I need to remove to put the new one in. In past cars I'v always just been able to punch them thru then push the new one into place. Please walk me thru this one I'm confused. there is no where for the stud to come out so no where for me to put the new one in, if I could get it out, the studs seem to be sealed. am I missing something?

I'v removed the brakes,got the pin out, got the castle nut off, washer off, now how do I get the brake disc off the hub? rented a puller that you attach to the studs, that doesn't help.
