... youtube will help you better...
(how to remove, depending on what your vehicle is, but should be somewhat like this.)

and how to replace....
thats one way to do it i guess, or you could just put a lug nut on it, and zap it with an impact wrench. maybe this helps you.

just knock it out, insert new one, put lug nut on it, tighten lug nut down with ratchet until back of stud sits flush, take lug nut off, place tire on, install lug nuts.

i do believe there isnt enough clearance to get them out and the rotor on them are made to the hub assembly so the rotor doesnt come of if u remove the brake calipier assembly and take the big wheel bearing nut off the whole rotor assembly will slide off the spindle.. the wheel bearing torque spec is 296 ftlbs when u put it back together
