Question

Answer
You'll need to remove the wheel and brake caliper.  Once the brake caliper is off, you should be able to hammer the old stud out the back.  Then, install a new stud through the back side and draw down with a regular 12mm x 1.75 nut.  If you attempt this with the tapered end of the lug nut, it'll damage the nut.  If you have difficulty inserting the new stud, you may need to grind a flat on one side of the flange to allow you to push past the knuckle.
