You'll have to remove the hub from the vehicle. Then press the old one out and press the new one in.

You can do it without removing the hub. You'll just have to remove things until there's a place that it clears. I think the dust shield has to come off and that's all.

thanks for the info. the only car i can remember doing this to was my camaro and the hub was built into the rotor. i figured it wasn't that big a deal.
-im actually going to take the car back to the tire shop that cross threaded the lugs nuts; but i wanted to have all the info before i walk in the door (i live in a very small town, this is the only shop for about 30 miles plus i like the shop and i want to keep a good relationship with them).

The RD doesn't need anything taken off. I believe there's a spot where a stud can back out without removing the shield. Hammer it out, then pull the new one in using the nut. Be careful doing so.

If you have money, get some ARP's. Evo studs work on the RD, but maybe you could call ARP for an equivelant to yours.
