[Shotimes] broken studs

Unbolt the caliper, remove the rotor. Pound off the
old stud (if anything's left of it.. most likely there
is), coat bottom of the new stud in anti-seize. (where
it contacts and seats into the hub) I usually slap
through a couple of washers and tighten it down with
the lug nut and a impact. The impact will help prevent
the stud from spinning and the washers will aid 
pulling the stud completely through. I can't remember
doing the studs on my SHO, but in some cases you need
to shave some off bottom of the stud because the
raised area won't clear pas the spindle. THis isn't
always the case though.

Hope this somewhat helps
