I extended one of the slots in the backplate and used the pound out / tighten nut in method to replace the stud. Didn't need to pull the TAs. I did pull the rotors and repaired the park brake while I had it on the stand.

Well, I had all ten lugs replaced and it cost $460. He also direct wired my radiator fan for me as well. Great guys and they work on a lot of corvettes. I'm a new corvette owner and I'm still amazed at how much work is involved. Thanks for the help.

The repair man at the Corvette Shop said you better do all the studs. He was not on this web site to know how easy the job was to just change the broken ones. The job took four hours at $100 or 5 hours at$80. plus parts and tax. Old Corvette ownership is a learning process.
An old proverb said EXPERIENCE IS A DEAR TEACHER BUT FOOLS WILL LEARN AND NO OTHER Just a saying no offence please
I would have put the $460 towards a trailing arms rebuild as I have been their done that got the shirt and the trophy.
