You are correct. There are a few threads on it. Search "wheel stud replacement" or something similar.
A few ppl have claimed they were able to get a new one on by grinding part of the backing edge off so it clears the edge of the hub. I used this trick several years ago on a civic and it never gave me any problems.
To do the job the right way I'd recommend pulling the hub.

You need a big shop press and appropriately sized mandrels to support the knuckle while you press the hub out. You will also need a wheel bearing to replace the one that will come apart when you press the knuckle out.

If the hub is pressed out of the knuckle, it will split the wheel bearing, leaving half in the knuckle and half attached to the hub. While it is possible to press the hub back in and squeeze the two halves of the bearing back together, the chances of that bearing failing in the future grow tremendously. I know folks that have done it and not had any problems, and I know folks that have done it and had the bearing fail within a couple of hundred miles. For a part that costs about $65, it's not worth the risk of doing it a second time. Replace the bearing.
