I don't recall seeing a how-to on this subject so I thought I'd take pics when I was doing mine.
I'm replacing my one stripped wheel stud without pressing out the hub. Keep in mind this is NOT the right way to do it but it worked and many people have done this before without any issues. If you can afford to get your hub pressed out and replacing your wheel bearings, it is wise to replace your old studs with new ones since they're cheap and the old 30 year old ones may or not break on you.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS AND DAMAGE YOUR LUG STUDS, HUBS, WHEELS, WHATEVER ELSE OR IF YOUR CAR CATCHES FIRE AND EXPLODED.
Tools needed:
Ratchet, torque wrench. I have my impact so it made things faster/easier
17mm socket - caliper bolts
19mm socket - your lug nuts, or whatever size that you're using
Phillips head impact screwdriver - Rotor retaining screws
Hammer(s)
Jack, stands and common sense
Start by jacking and securing the car with a jack stand and remove the wheel. No pics of that unless you really don't know how to get your tires off...
Wheel off

Here's the 2x 17mm caliper bolts holding your caliper to the knuckle.

Use your 17mm socket and ratchet like so

Caliper off with the pads and everything still attached to it

Get a wire/rope or whatever to hang the caliper to the UCA or anything so the caliper won't be held by the rubber brake hose - that would damage the hose

Here's the two philips head screws that is holding your rotor to the hub. I didn't have mine, they're already missing. PO already had them removed and can't be bothered to put them back on. They're not important but it is nice to have. They can be bitch to get out without an impact screwdriver though so you might have some trouble here. Your rotor might be stuck to the hub if you're unlucky. Just bolt 2x 12mm bolts into the other 2 holes and slowly tighten each of them till the rotor separates from the hub. No pics of that since mine isn't stuck.

Here's the offending stud. Some idiot already had this replaced and yet they managed to strip the same stud again??

Hammer it back out from the front. Mine doesn't take much effort since the splines are all rounded from that same idiot

You'll notice how it won't come off the back as it hits the knuckle. This is exactly why hub removal is needed but there's another way to do it if you're cheap like me. Bend or cut the dust shield out of the way then cut the damaged stud in half and knock it out from the hub. No pics of this sorry :( I suck at making a how-to
