They press in from the back and they are usually splined. So I'd see if a machine shop can press it out for you. Replacement studs are available.

I had to slip the axle out partially to get enough clearance to put new ones in. Getting the old one out can be done with a hammer and punch usually. I'd get it mostly out while the axle is still in. The new one can be pulled in with a lug nut that isn't capped. At least that's how I did mine.

I pulled the axle shaft out and took it to work with me (hydraulic press). Pressed old one out, pressed new one in, put axle shaft back in.
