Sorry, you have to remove the rotor completely. There is absolute no way to get the old studs out and install new ones without removing the rotor. The hub has to come out, because the nuts holding the rotor on to the spindle are behind it.

Yep, I forgot that. Look at this picture.

The rotor is behind the hub flange. So if you can't get to the studs you just took out from behind, there is no way the rotor is going to move out to get to them without taking the hub off.
