Rear wheel stud replacement

I'm about to start rebuilding my 04 RX-8 and one of the things I have to replace is the rear driver side studs, two are broke. How do I go about replacing them, what's a good video source for me to watch, and is there anything else that needs to be replace while I have everything out? Oh and does anybody know where I could find a Mazda Super-LSD or any LSD that works well and is it worth it?

See what? That book or pdf is hard to find and expensive. I wish they made a Haynes manual for it but they don't. I thought you might know a better source to go to.

Do you have an automatic? If it's a manual you already have an LSD.

Sorry, I thought you were being humorous given I gave you the basics on how to answer almost any question using your rear studs as an example.

I could provide you another demonstration but Loki already gave you the answer.

I’ll tell you again, that’s a pre-production service manual that has a lot of errors and is missing information. You need a factory service manual specific for your model year.

if you can’t afford a factory service manual then this is not the car for you.
