Any other way to change wheel studs?

Is there anyway to change the wheel studs on my car without pulling my whole diff. apart? I have 2 broken wheel studs and I need to change them. My car has traction control with that gear that keeps the studs from being knocked out the backside. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a "search"? I'm sure I've seen someone post the "trick" to getting the studs out on the traction control cars, without pulling the axles.

Just did it myself, Put a deep socket on the other side of the hub and take a hammer and bang them out, there pressed in so just pop them bad boys out the back then put the new one's through from the back put a bunch of washers on the stud and tighten the lug on the stud itself till the studd appears to be fully pressed in. good luck

That doesn't work if you have traction control. There is a gear that stops the stud from comming out the back.
