Default Replacing rear wheel studs '02 1500 w/rear disc??

Hey guys, long story short the tire shop I had put new tires on my truck found that 3 wheel studs on my passenger rear wheel were stripped. I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience/guidance on if I can replace these studs without pulling the axle shaft out, because this is my only vehicle and a daily driver that is used every single day of the week. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't recall how much room is back there after the brake rotor is taken off. There might be enough room to fish the stud through, I guess you'd just have to take it apart and see.

You can fish one through In 1 or two spots, but you will need to suck it through with a C clamp tool or use a Lug nut and some washer stacked up to pull it through.

Yeah taking it apart and seeing is what I'm trying to avoid lol, my girlfriend uses the truck to get to work every day and then class after that so it might have one day out of every week where it's not 100% necessary for it to be able to be used
