Well yesterday i took off my wheel to balance it and when i attempted to put it back on i stripped a stud and a lug(my fault)...so i went to Kragen and bought a stud and bolt for like 4$..This is my how to...
tools: breaker bar/air gun ratchet assortment of sockets new stud and and bolt  1)first u jack up the car and take off what wheel that needs replacing...  2)You take off the 4 bolts that hold the caliper on(my bolts where put on with about 999999 pounds fo torque so it took me like 20 mins to get them off.  this picture shows the back with that presses the brake pads has already been removed... 3) You insert 2 bolts into the holes on the disk and tighten them until them until you cant tighten anymore..if the disk hasn't popped off by now then get a piece of wood and a hammer and put the wood on the back on the disk and hit the wood so you don't damage the disk..hit the disk and then tighten,hit, tighten,hit,tighten,ect until the disk pops off  4)Position the back on the bad stud in the margin..then hit the stud with a hammer and it should pop out...  5)Put your new stud in place and pound it in with a hammer and some kinda bar...(i used the ratchet extension)  6)redo the process making sure to re tighten everything...you don't want to drive down the road,take a right turn and have ur caliper pop off  This post has been edited by CelicaST_CALI: Dec 20, 2008 - 9:30 PM -------------------- BANNED. for life, you moron.

dont recall loosening that bolt when i took it off.
what you need to do is take the caliper off and then in those 2 holes insert screws and take it out.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

I dont know what the wheel stud replacement entails. do you have to take off just the rotor cause that 30mm bolt is what holds the axle in there. If you dont need to take off the axle you dont need to remove the 30mm monster nut.
Follow what njccmd said to take of the rotor, its 12mm bolts IIRC. Well, for the GT. i dunno about the ST.... In that last pic you posted, you put the 2 12mm bolts into the two "holes" in the middle of the rotor, and then turn them evenly with the ratchet and it pulls the rotor off.

there is a groove, align with the stud and thats where you hit the stud at and comes out. similar to the pic below

They are right, you do not need to touch the "monster bolt". The bolts for the caliper are 12mm. The bolts for the caliper bracket are 14mm. Remove those, and the rotor will come off.

just make sure you get some washers and put a lug on and tighten that stud in there nice and good.

you dont need to take off the hub bolt. See now your learning from us.
see those 2 holes on the disk?? get 2 bolts that would fit and slowly tighten each one until it pops off. after that it should be easy. -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
