Wheel Stud Replacement

[VGBSUPERFLY7]

Hey guys,

As of yesterday, my Fx is running on 4 lugs out of 5. Took the car to get tires rotated at some pretty ghetto tire shop and they must have over torqued the lugs. Decided to re-torque the lugs myself yesterday, and 1 of the lugs snapped off (good news, rather snap it off then have it stuck).

My question is, can I just knock out the broken stud with rotors/calipers in place and replace with the new stud? I saw this RX8 write up and the guy was able to replace it this way. Hopefully our FX might have a similar setup so the stud replacement will be easy.

i tried replacing the stud without removing the rotor, but it is way easier to just remove one of the caliper bolts, pivot it out of the way and remove the rotor. pound out the old stud, invert an open end lug nut and torque the new stud until it seats properly.
