How would you look for clearance behind the stud, and how would yoy grasp
the stud and get the new one in the flange with the drum on ? ;)

Hammering it out sounds like a very bad idea (easily to elongate the hole so
that a new stud won't fit in tightly). It would be better to use an actual
press...or at least try using a vise or two (slowly tightening the vise(s)
so as to act as a 'press').

You have to remove the brake drum to get access to the space behind the
flange that the studs are mounted in. To remove the drum, you may have to
back off of the brake adjuster through the oval opening, covered by an oval
rubber plug, on inboard side of the backing plate. After backing off the
adjuster, if the drum is still stuck, use 2 bolts in the threaded openings
on the outboard face of the drum, tightening the bolts alternately a few
turns at a time until the drum pops off.

Tap the shank of the stud to push it back in the hole. To replace the stud,
just use your fingers to push it as far as you can in the hole in the
flange, thread a lug nut on the new stud, and pull on the nut. You can put
a stack of washers on the stud, install the lug nut, and tighten the nut
until the stud pulls through all the way and seats itself.

How much torque does it take to twist off a Toyota lug bolt? I don't
think I've ever twisted off a Toyota lug bolt, they are pretty good
sized.
