That's how I did it on my Jeep when the job had to be done ...

But the OP said he intended to press it out and asked how. All I said was
that anybody with the machine to do it that way would know how. If you would
do it a dfiferent way, tell him not me.

 Wrong, clare!!  If you can get the right tool to press the old
broken/stripped stud out with the axle/hub on the car, that is MUCH
better than beating it out with a hammer and a punch.

See if you can borrow or rent this, or a similar tool from Snap-On,
MAC, etc.

 If you have to remove the old stud with a hammer, you need to use a
sufficiently big hammer to make it happen in as few blows as possible
- 4-pound hand sledge or better.  And you need to have someone hold an
even bigger hammer (8-pound sledge) behind the flange to absorb the
blow, and not transmit the force into the wheel bearings.

 Just "Beating on it with a hammer" to get the stud out is bad, that
can cause Brinnelling damage (tiny dents in the hardened steel) to the
wheel bearings and their races, and in a few weeks your wheel bearings
start to rumble as they go bad and eventually self-destruct.

 And you pull in the new studs with the same press tool, or a stack
of greased washers and a new greased lug nut.  (Do not use an old lug
nut, if the old nut's threads are hosed you aren't doing the new stud
any favors.)  Clean off the grease with brake cleaner before
installing the wheel.

  There is no hub, the stud goes into the axle flange. Ihe only things you
need to remove are the wheel and brake drum.
