Question How do you replace the rear wheel studs on an 81 928?

I'm sure that this topic has been addressed in the forums before, but I didn't see it when I tried multiple different searches.

I have a dinged up rear wheel stud on an '81 928 (long story.) These are the stock 50mm studs. Tapped out the bad one with a hammer, but there is not room enough behind the wheel hub to actually remove the stud. So now, my car is on a jack-stand with one loose stud.

I know that I could cut the old one out, but that won't help me get the new one in.

I'm guessing that either I am overlooking the obvious, or the wheel hub will need to be removed to replace the stud.

The manual's depiction of removing the wheel hub is a task that I am just not willing to attempt. If it comes to that, I will get a die and chase the existing stud to clean it up.

Any suggestions? Am I overlooking the obvious here?
