Default Need Help! REAR WHEEL STUDS REPLACEMENT!

We'll I'm stuck in replaceing my rear wheel studs for my 1996 sc400. All 5 of my wheel studs in the right rear side snapped off and now I need a few help in replacing them.

I already removed the caliber and brake plat.
Once that comes off I'm i cant seem to get enough room so to put the lugs in when i remove them b/c the emergency brake is in the way.
Is there anything you guys can tell me to help me finish this need my car asap! thank for all help n comments!

take off the rotor and get access to the wheel hub. then use any means you have available to remove the old studs. once you have them out take a new stud. put in the hole. then take a nut or a short tube that is a little bigger diameter then the stud. put the nut on the end of the stud and tighten it. this will press the stud into the hub. youre done

Yes thanks for the info but ive done only 1 nut lol cause i wasn't able to turn the center part where the studs hold on b/c it doesn't have enough room to fit the other nuts. Do i have to jack up the other side in order to rotate the plate? Do I have to turn the center part and put each stud one buy one?

Heres a pic of what it sort of looks like

to turn the center part, just put the car in neutral
don't knock it off the jack stands while you're getting in.
